Speaking about Abdo, last year, Scott claimed that he is hard on her at times. However, given her size, Malik finds Kate “extremely heavy-handed“. And apart from a commendable right hand, Scott thinks Kate “turns her hips well“.  But, what impresses Malik the most is that “she’s a sponge for knowledge“. Likewise, Malik admired Kate’s passion for boxing although she had a full-time job as a broadcaster.
