While Rolex watches are really expensive and have a tag of richness associated with them. However, the English fighter does not seem to keep the watch for wearing and showing off. He revealed that his intentions aligned with raising funds for charity.

Pimblett said, “To be honest, I think I’m gonna auction that off for me mental health charity. I’m just starting my own charity at the minute. So, I think that’s going to be the farest thing.” The fighter reasoned that he had two watches already and didn’t really need a third one. He declared that he would put it for auction for the sake of charity. “I’ve already got two watches, so I’d like to use for a good cause. So, I think I’m gonna auction it off and put it towards me charity,” said ‘The Baddy’.
