Kate Abdo ACCEPTS callout from Astrid Wett with glam DAZN presenter ready to make Misfits Boxing debut
KATE ABDO accepted Astrid Wett’s callout while at Usyk vs Fury last night.
The popular presenter, 42, was on hosting duties for DAZN at the huge undisputed heavyweight title bout.
When she had a spare moment, Abdo stopped for a chat about her own boxing exploits.
The CBS Sports star has been in boxing training, sharing a number of sparring clips online.
She is dating former pro boxer Malik Scott, who has worked as head coach of Deontay Wilder.
Abdo has not yet fought, but was previously called out by Misfits Boxing champion Astrid.
Chatting to Eze Talks Sports last night, Abdo was asked about the callout.
The DAZN star smiled as she responded: “She called me out? Okay nice, I like it. How good is she?”
When it was put to her that Astrid is a “champion”, Abdo responded by asking: “How many fights has she got?”
After hearing that Astrid has three fights under her belt, Abdo said: “Alright… three fights I can deal with.”
She was then asked if, with Malik’s help, she can be champion within a few fights.
Abdo ended the tongue-in-cheek exchange by saying: “A few fights?
“Well if I’m going to fight a champion in my first fight, why not in my first fight?”
Astrid won her first two bouts against Keeley Colbran and AJ Bunker.
Last time out she triumphed over Alexia Grace via majority decision.
Abdo was joined by pundits Joseph Parker and Lennox Lewis on last night’s coverage.
Fans loved that she was on presenting duties, with one writing: “Kate Abdo. Wow!”
While a second gushed: “shoutout @kate_abdo.”
And another added: “I love you @kate_abdo.”
