The position I’m in now, my weight is not too high. “Everyone normally calls me fat, but my weight isn’t that high. “That’s going to come down nice and easy, but I’ll probs have more weight to cut than Chandler as I’m a lot bigger at the weight.” Pimblett already looks in sensational shape and ready to go Fans noticed exactly that and were stunned at just how well he shaped up with over a month to go.
