Malik Scott, partner of sports broadcaster Kate Abdo, has issued a stern warning to Jamie Carragher following an awkward joke made by the former Liverpool player. Carragher’s off-hand remark about Abdo’s ‘loyalty’ during a CBS Sports broadcast did not sit well with Scott, prompting him to respond with a chilling message.
Scott, renowned as one of the top boxing trainers globally, expressed his displeasure with Carragher’s comment, labeling the pundit as ‘obnoxious’ and threatening to address the issue ‘in a physical manner’. The incident occurred when Carragher made a jest about Abdo’s loyalty to Scott during the broadcast, which went viral and drew criticism from fans on social media.
In response, Scott emphasized his admiration for Abdo and his commitment to her, stating, “I plan on marrying her, so the thing that happened with Jamie, it’s a part of the job.” He further asserted that while he respects Carragher’s apology, any further disrespect towards Abdo would not be tolerated.
The exchange underscores the importance of professionalism and respect in sports broadcasting, highlighting the consequences of making inappropriate remarks. As tensions escalate, the incident serves as a reminder of the need for mutual respect and decorum in the industry.
