Abdo, who is best known for presenting CBS Sports’s Champions League coverage alongside football legends Jamie Carragher, Thierry Henry and Micah Richards, recently tied the knot with Scott. The pair exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony in Malibu Hills, California. To celebrate their union, Abdo went the extra mile by making a special cake that paid homage to Scott’s boxing background, having admitted that the sport “saved his life”. Despite being known for training top-tier fighters like former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, Scott is no stranger to the ring himself.

Opening up about the emotional moment with Genting Casino, he revealed: “Kate did something incredibly creative, caring and compassionate, reflecting the walk of life I come from. “She took an old picture of my first ABC Gym in North Philadelphia, where I was raised, the gym that essentially saved my life. She copied the ring from that gym and turned it into a cake, with me in the ring wearing the boxing trunks I had on when I fought Tony Thompson. “Those trunks had a design I borrowed from Sugar Ray Leonard when he fought Tommy Hearns the second time, but I added my own colours – pink and black with stripes. She even put herself next to me in a wedding dress. “The thoughtfulness and creativity moved me to tears because it took me back to my childhood in that ring, where I faced many challenges, learned hard lessons, and grew. That ring always meant the world to me.

“She made sure to incorporate that into our wedding day, placing us both in the ring on the cake her in a wedding dress, me in my boxing outfit. The contrast was beautiful, thoughtful and loving.” Scott explained how he has been able to share his passion for boxing with Abdo like with no one else. He added: “It was emotional for me because I had never shared my craft with anyone the way I have with her. It’s refreshing and comforting. In the past, I’d kept that side of me private. “But with her, I’m comfortable letting her in, whether it’s film study or talking about boxing. It’s a special connection that I’ve never had with anyone else.” He said about the actual day of the wedding: “Our wedding was intimate, just the two of us, really. We didn’t want a big affair. We focused on each other and the commitment we were making. It was a godly ceremony on the Malibu Hills, just how we wanted it. “My kids were there, and it was important for them to see this meaningful, godly moment. Watching her walk down the aisle was so emotional for me. Every day I fall deeper in love with her.”Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
