Curious about the watches, Tarren enquired the fighter about it during their talks on ‘Chattin Pony’. The golfer asked, “Did Drake come through with you, with your watch?” Without wasting a second, the UFC lightweight fighter declared the truth. He said, “Yeah, he did, lad, he did. It’s on one of me vlogs, lad”

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’.
