Kate Abdo's ex-boxer boyfriend Malik Scott has revealed that Jamie Carragher apologised in person after his 'not loyal' joke that went viral.

The Liverpool legend came under-fire after his ill-advised joke towards the former Sky Sports News presenter during a pre-match segment of Arsenal's Champions League clash against Porto.



When Manchester United fan Abdo said she was "too loyal" to wear the shirt of the north London club, Carragher regrettably quipped "not to Malik".

Scott, a former boxer and trainer, didn't take kindly to the joke as he later threatened to "show up in a physical manner" if the ex-England international was to cross the line again.

The 43-year-old played down social media's reaction to the joke back in March when he said: "It was not something I lost any sleep over because I noticed the way Kate handled it was very, very well, and Jamie was just being Jamie and I have no problem with him," he said to Lord Ping.

Scott, who previously trained former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, further spoke on the incident to Casino Online In where he revealed he received an apology from Carragher who he has the "utmost respect" for.

"I never had a strong opinion about Jamie Carragher, only about the things that he said, but meeting him, I really enjoyed the man's company.
