KATE SCOTT was caught up in an awkward ending to DAZN’s boxing coverage of Oleksandr Usyk’s knock out win over Daniel Dubois.
The 43-year-old presenter tried to end the show before she appeared to be told in her ear by a producer to make an quick u-turn.
Kate Scott had to scramble to continue DAZN’s coverage
Scott chose a bold fashion choice as she fronted up DAZN’s coverage of the fight at Wembley Stadium.
Scott, previously known as Kate Abdo before her recent marriage to Malik Scott, was front and centre for the broadcast.
She was joined on the initial coverage by former two-weight world boxing champion Carl Frampton, who leant his boxing expertise to the show.
Boxing icon Lennox Lewis also joined the lineup later in the coverage.
Usyk only needed five rounds to knock Dubois out and become undisputed heavyweight champion for the second time.
The Ukrainian, 38, knocked Dubois down with a stunning right hook midway through round five.
He then wrapped things up with a devastating left hook to the chin of the 27-year-old.
Dubois was gunning to avenge his previous loss to Usyk and become the UK’s first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.
Essex-based Dubois gave his fans a fright when he didn’t arrive at Wembley until around 90 minutes before the opening bell.
Fans were also left baffled when the national anthems were sung BEFORE both boxers stepped into the ring
VIPS filled the front row ringside seats, including Gordan Ramsey, Frank Bruno, Jason Statham and YouTube boxer Jake Paul.
On the night, Paul confirmed he will fight Anthony Joshua in an epic Wembley showdown next year.
