His comment did not go down well, with Kate Scott and the rest of the CBS crew left feeling <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cbs-sports-jamie-carragher-loyalty-kate-abdo-liverpool-headache-dortmund/bltb19af5bed1a2f5ec" target="_blank">uncomfortable as red-faced apologies were quickly lined up</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Boxing trainer Malik, who has worked with former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, said in the aftermath of the incident: "If Kate gets upset then it's a really big deal to me and I'll give him a call and if he doesn't pick up my call, then I'll show up in a physical manner so we can talk like men."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Scott has now told <a href="https://www.spaceportsweden.com/interviews/malik-scott-interview/ " target="_blank">SpaceportSweden.com</a> when asked if there was ever any chance of scores being settled in the ring: "I didn't have any plans on fighting Jamie. But at the same time, I put it out there because my wife was hurt and I'm here to protect my wife and that was that. But Jamie, when we see each other, we shake hands, give each other big daps, have a laugh and move on."Jamie and I always see each other, so it's not an intimidating thing. It's just a respect that men have with each other. That's all it is. I respect him, he respects me, and my wife respects him, and he's going to respect my wife. And he does respect my wife. There’s no grudge with Jamie at all. I love that whole panel."

WHAT MALIK SCOTT SAID

Malik recently made a guest appearance on the CBS panel, during a European tie between Real Madrid and Manchester City at Santiago Bernabeu, during which he wore <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kate-scott-husband-malik-savagely-mocks-jamie-carragher-loyal-dig-hilarious-hoodie-cbs-sports-champions-league-broadcast/blt64f215d4f86c40fb#csd2d5a0fc98e8699b" target="_blank">a hoodie that sported the names of the show’s cast with “Jamie” crossed out</a>.He added on that playful jab at Carragher: “Well I had that hoodie and we just put a little flare onto it for the show. It was good. People loved it.“About six or seven months ago, Jamie Carragher was on the panel with my wife, Kate Scott, Thierry Henry, and Micah (Richards) - they were doing a game and it was an outside game and Kate was explaining to Jamie. that she was loyal to I believe a Manchester team (Manchester United).“Jamie acted like he didn't hear it so he said ‘Loyal to who? Not to Malik.’ And that went pretty bad. And it was probably the wrong kind of joke. And it just got out and when the word got to me, I put a couple of statements out that really went crazy. I was just verbally protecting my wife on the internet about that thing Jamie said.“So time goes by and here I am at the game the other day and I have my Champions League sweatshirt on and the best panel on sports is up there.“They came to me asking would I hop on the last segment. I didn't have the hoodie like that but by the time I got up there I had Jamie’s name crossed out and they basically asked me what I had on so I opened the shirt and I said, ‘I've got to get me another one because I basically crossed Jamie’s name out on that’.“That was a little get back at him from the beginning of the story, just the comment that he said about Kate. Then as the show went on they were asking me my favourite (on the panel). Of course, I'm going to say my wife. The one that I married is my favourite, Kate Scott. Then I said Micah. Then Jamie said, ‘Who's next?’ I looked at Jamie with a face and I said, ‘Don't you do it, Jamie’. And then we all had a good laugh and it was just good.“It was a really good experience. That's a very good crew. Best panel in sports in my opinion, chemistry wise. The producer really hit it right on the button with them. They got a great thing going. It was incredible. They’ve got the right individuals on there and it was fun more than anything.”
