Kate Scott, formerly known as Kate Abdo, has emerged as one of the most respected and adored sports presenters in the UK. The 43 year old Manchester-born presenter, who is set to host the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight, has been the face of CBS Sports’ football coverage since 2020.
She hosts the UEFA Champions League Today show alongside Micah Richards, Thierry Henry, and Jamie Carragher. Her career in media has seen her work with some of the world’s largest broadcasting companies.
Here, we delve into all the details, including her rise to fame, her relationship with a former heavyweight boxer, and an awkward disagreement she had with one of her closest colleagues. Despite being born and raised in England, Scott moved to Spain at the age of 17 to perfect her Spanish and complete her high school diploma.
She later returned to the UK to earn a masters degree in European languages from the University of Salford, while also studying translation and interpreting at the University of Malaga. She then pursued journalism, but admits that she struggled to find work in her early days.
