Kate Abdo has been tipped to make a shock boxing debut after training footage with her boyfriend Malik Scott emerged.
In recent weeks, Abdo’s relationship with boxer Scott has been making the headlines after former Liverpool and England defender Jamie Carragher made a remark live on CBS Sports.
During their coverage of the Champions League, Carragher said: “Not to Malik”, when Abdo declared her loyalty to Manchester United. The presenter then asked: “Why would you even ask that?”
The exchange between the pair went viral, with Carragher receiving criticism for his comments.

Abdo could be set for a debut for Misfits Boxing, when asked if it is a possibility, the promotion’s co-founder Mams Taylor said: “Yes”.
Speaking on CBS last month, Abdo was asked: “How’s the boxing thing going?.” To which she replied: “I’m gonna be fighting this summer……..I’am training for something! Find me the right person, I’ll fight’ em.” You can watch the footage of Abdo training with Scott below.
Reacting to Carragher’s remark, Abdo’s boyfriend Scott said to Lord Ping: “It was a very minute thing, but her being irritated by it a little bit is what really got to me.

“Him just saying it and being that guy who always makes those picking at you jokes wasn't really a big deal to me at all. It's only a big deal if Kate is upset.”
He added: “If Kate gets upset then it's a really big deal to me and I'll give him a call and if he doesn't pick up my call, then I’ll show up in a physical manner so we can talk like men, so that's not something you should continue to do.
“But I think Jamie apologised, not just to Kate but to the team, and one thing you can't do is knock a man who admits he was wrong. In that regard I have high respect for him.”
