The former Sky Sports host – who married retired boxer Malik Scott in September 2024 – has been based in the United States since 2017.
And her American twang caught fans by surprise when she opened up the broadcast.
One said: “Either Kate Scott is putting on an American accent or she’s been in America way too long.”
Another added: “Kate Scott has gone super American accent tonight.”

One joked: “What’s this half American half British accent Kate Scott is doing?”
Another said: “Is Kate Scott American now?”
Despite Scott’s confusing accent – she got widespread compliments on her strapless dress.
She was joined on the broadcast by British boxing legend and ex-heavyweight champ David Haye – who reckons an unthinkable upset is on the cards.

Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua – all the info
A true Christmas miracle!
The world will stand still TONIGHT as the face of British boxing, Anthony Joshua, is all set to go up against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
AJ steps in on a month’s notice after Paul’s ‘David vs Goliath’ Gervonta Davis clash was axed due to Tank’s civil suit case.
And Joshua will be desperate not to suffer the same fate as legends Mike Tyson and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, who both lost to YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul.
Particularly as a handsome figure was negotiated to get this Judgement Day deal over the line due to AJ’s DAZN contract.

Haye said on SunSport’s No Glove Lost episode: “I think something dramatic’s gonna happen.
“For instance, if AJ’s Achilles snaps in the first round, what happens if he dislocates his shoulder?
“So there’s a chance this stuff happens. He’s got a new coach. He’s throwing punches from new angles. Something could happen.
“I’m going the complete opposite way. I think it’s gonna be the biggest, somehow, I don’t know how it’s gonna happen, but I think it’s gonna be the biggest upset in sporting history.
“I think there’s something that’s gonna happen either a no contest or something a cut for instance, a big clash of heads or something’s gonna happen.
“I don’t know why, I’m going the opposite way. Something’s gonna happen.”
