KATE ABDO accepted Astrid Wett’s callout while at Usyk vs Fury last night.
The popular presenter, 42, was on hosting duties for DAZN at the huge undisputed heavyweight title bout.
When she had a spare moment, Abdo stopped for a chat about her own boxing exploits.
The CBS Sports star has been in boxing training, sharing a number of sparring clips online.
She is dating former pro boxer Malik Scott, who has worked as head coach of Deontay Wilder.
Abdo has not yet fought, but was previously called out by Misfits Boxing champion Astrid.

Chatting to Eze Talks Sports last night, Abdo was asked about the callout.
The DAZN star smiled as she responded: “She called me out? Okay nice, I like it. How good is she?”
When it was put to her that Astrid is a “champion”, Abdo responded by asking: “How many fights has she got?”
After hearing that Astrid has three fights under her belt, Abdo said: “Alright… three fights I can deal with.”

She was then asked if, with Malik’s help, she can be champion within a few fights.
Abdo ended the tongue-in-cheek exchange by saying: “A few fights?
For all the love for resurgent AJ… these two are head, shoulders and fists ahead of everyone else
OLEKSANDR USYK is the deserved undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, writes Wally Downes Jr
A great biggun doesn’t always beat a great littleun, not when David has the weight of a besieged nation on his shoulders and is able to swing each compatriot into every punch.
Usyk did what Usyk does, he moved magnificently, he counter punched and he outworked his taller and heavier opponent.
He somehow manages to use every physical disadvantage to his favour.
But what the hell is Fury doing getting up in round nine?
Why is a father-of-eight with £300million in the bank, three best-selling books and a Netflix series going to the well like?
Britain is not fighting back Putin’s army, Morecambe is not occupied.
So when the 35-year-old’s senses are scrambled, when the canvas is calling him, when he is so desperate not to be felled he is willing to bounce around all the ropes like a drunk, when he eventually has to collapse into a corner, why doesn’t he just stay down?
He has earned the right to surrender as well as his millions.
The sheer courage and guts and bloody mindedness it takes to climb off that deck, with a broken nose and a crumbling ego is not comprehensible to us mortals.
Fury said he felt he won the fight but was too dignified to call robbery or corruption, no doubt his dad will taint that decency by the time you’ve read this.
The rematch will be superb.
Because for all the love we have for a resurgent Anthony Joshua – who was ringside for that iconic event – these two polar opposite men are head, shoulders, fists, hearts and brains ahead of everyone else.
There is the top two, then there is a void and then there is the rest.

“Well if I’m going to fight a champion in my first fight, why not in my first fight?”
Astrid won her first two bouts against Keeley Colbran and AJ Bunker.
Last time out she triumphed over Alexia Grace via majority decision.
