Paddy Pimblett has promised to auction off his Rolex, gifted by rapper Drake, with the proceeds going to his newly-launched charity 'The Baddy Foundation'.
The UFC lightweight prospect takes on Jared Gordon tonight in his fourth bout under the promotion's banner, having stopped his last three opponents within the opening rounds. And his last victory over Jordan Leavitt, coupled with his teammate Molly McCann's win on the same night against Hannah Goldy, saw the musician win a whopping £3.1million on a double bet.
Drake rewarded Pimblett and McCann by gifting them both with luxury Rolex watches, believed to be a day-date piece that can sell for anywhere between £50,000 and £65,000. The fighter reckons that he can get even more from a collector who wants the added history of knowing that the watch, which is still in the box, was bought for him by the chart-topping rapper.
