12 Hublot watches to be auctioned
Proceeds for unique watches go to the WBC Pension Fund
You don’t have to be a fan of boxing to know that you are already salivating to know that Hublot Watch company is auctioning off 12 limited edition watches personalized for twelve of the most influential boxer alive today.
Boxing is a sport of gladiators. Unfortunately for most prize fighters, once your career is over, you’re looking at tough times ahead. Not only are boxers plagued with health issues, they often suffer from mental and focus issues due to the brutality of the sport. When a boxer hangs up his gloves (at a strikingly young age), it’s often difficult to transition into the 9 to 5 workday.
Many of these pugilists end up destitute.
That is why the World Boxing Council’s pension fund is so vital to help a contender in need:
Hublot has created specially designed personalized watches for Lennox Lewis and Julio Ceasar Chavez, Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns, George Forman, Marvellous Marvin Hagler, Roberto Duran, Oscare de la Hoya, Jeff French, Evander Holyfield and Larry Holmes.
Twelve more in this style will then go on the auction block.
Jean Claude Biver said of the retired boxers in need: “You’ve maintained the glory and given us so many dreams, now that your careers have finished we haven’t forgotten about you. We will try to make that end of your careers as sweet as possible.”
Hublot hopes to raise a million dollars with their limited edition Hublot watches auction. This money will go directly into the WBC pension fund and start helping retired boxers right away.
For you, this might be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get your hands on an unique watch that will become a cherished part of sports history. For an athlete who’s facing the end of his career, it might just be an opportunity for a new life!
These limited edition watches to benefit boxers will definitely go fast and many insiders are predicting that Hublot will raise more than the million dollar goal. Act fast when this auction starts because it might be a very long time until you get a chance at these limited edition luxury watches again.
