Ali left Rolexes in loos for fans

'SO GENEROUS': Ali. Inset, Nuala

BOXING icon Muhammad Ali used to leave his Rolex watches at service station loos as a gift for the next person who used them.

Radio presenter Nuala McGovern said she learned about the ring legend’s acts of generosity from mourners when she went to his funeral.
