The experienced presenter and TV star stepped away from her usual gig as one of CBS Sports' Champions League broadcast stars to venture into boxing.
Scott, 43, looked smart in front of the backdrop of the mega 90,000 seat venue as she sported a black and gold top, black trousers and some studded heels.
While she was joined on the initial coverage by former two-weight world boxing champion Carl Frampton, who leant his boxing expertise to the show.

The trio were ready to bring fans action from a HUGE night of fighting as Usyk and Dubois prepare to do battle for the title of undisputed world heavyweight champion.
The bout reignited a rivalry between the pair after Dubois' controversial loss to the Ukrainian back in 2023.
The Brit, who currently holds the IBF heavyweight title, will try and pull off a shock win to snatch Usyk's belts away from him in front of a roaring home crowd.
Usyk remains strong favourite for the fight given his exceptional form in recent times, including victories over Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

It's not just the main event that will catch the attention of fans either.
Lawrence Okolie and Kevin Leren will face off in a battle for Okolie's WBC silver heavyweight title.
And Southampton hitter Lewis Edmondson will try and take Daniel Lapin's IBF Intercontinental and WBA Continental light heavyweight titles away from him when the pair trade blows on the undercard.

Broken Ben Stokes steps aside for England prodigy Jacob Bethell to take the stage in India series finale
The news filtered through on Wednesday morning just as bleary eyed journalists were shuffling around The Oval 's perimeter towards an underground press room. Ben Stokes was out. England were heading into the heat of battle in this decisive fifth Test without their warrior captain. In walked Stokes looking like a Viking god, blonde locks slicked back, calves chiselled out of stone, to explain why he could give no more to this absorbing series against India. 'I'm very disappointed. It's a decent tear to one of the muscles that I can't pronounce. We took as long as we could to make the decision.' Stokes' shoulder injury will take six or seven weeks to recover, and he hinted that the looming Ashes series, which begins in Perth in November, was a factor in his decision to step back. 'It was one of those, weighing up the risk and reward, and the risk was way too high if I damaged it further than it is. I wouldn't expect any of my players to play with this kind of injury.' It has been a gruelling few weeks, physically, emotionally, tactically, taking a toll on no one more than Stokes. He has never bowled as many overs in a series, a labour in itself, and he has done it while hitting 304 runs, diving around the field, plotting India's downfall, rallying his players, inciting confrontation and answering a rapt press. His injury felt like an inevitable consequence of all those demands, slain not by India but by Test cricket itself. Not even Stokes is built to play at this intensity, with so little rest over what has been a blisteringly hot English summer. Could he have given himself a lighter workload with the ball? 'No, not at all. When I'm out on the field I play to win and give everything I possibly can. If I feel there's a moment in a game where I need to put everything I'm feeling aside, I'll do that because it's how much this team means to me, how much playing for England means to me, how much winning means to me.' Could the five-Test schedule, packed into six weeks, have been easier on the players? 'The gaps between games could be done a little better. You've had two eight- and nine-day turnarounds and two three-day [turnarounds]. Maybe you could look at making them all five days before every game so there's consistency. It has been tough for both teams.' Indeed, India will be without their own talisman, Jasprit Bumrah, at The Oval, who is still making his way back to full fitness after a back injury. Ollie Pope assumes the captaincy while Jacob Bethell takes Stokes' place at No 6 in the batting line-up. In the supremely talented Bethell, England have a piece of gold that they are still figuring out how best to use. Will he ultimately become a white-ball monster? Is he destined to be a middle-order red-ball destroyer? Could he even become a Test opener, able to fend off the world's best fast bowlers under cloudy skies at 11am? He has the natural ability to do all three. ]Warwickshire teammate Olly Hannon- Dalby told the Guardian a story of visiting Bethell's home as a teenager growing up in Barbados. 'Outside, they have a cricket ball in a sock hanging from a really high beam on a three- or four-metre rope, so a huge arc when it swings. Our guys could hit it three or four times before messing it up, but he kept going and going. He just never missed. 'Not only that, his dad kept shouting random fielding positions and Jacob was middling it to wherever he was told, even though the ball kept swinging back from different angles. It was so, so difficult and pretty crazy to watch.' Aged 21, Bethell was thrown into the deep end of Test cricket on last year's tour of New Zealand, batting at No 3 with almost no red-ball hinterland to call upon. It was not without controversy – he had been fast-tracked, skipping the hard yards on the County Championship circuit without ever recording a ton on a chilly April day at Chester-le-Street like many before him. Yet Bethell responded with a maturity beyond his years, averaging 52 across three matches and playing every kind of shot en route. He has adapted that effortless technique to all forms of cricket, but there remains a glaring omission from his young CV. The 50s column is brimming but the 100s is still empty. His top score in T20s is 87; in ODIs it's 82; in first-class cricket it's 96. He scored 96 against New Zealand but this is a fresh chance to channel all that talent into a first career century. Stokes is not worried about the expectation on Bethell's young shoulders. 'There was a lot more hype and pressure in New Zealand when he was given a chance at No 3 and he handled that pretty well. He gets to slide in at No 6. I'm very confident in his abilities, he's a quality player.' That elusive century won't be easy to come by on a pitch that is expected to be green and offer some assistance to the quick bowlers, which is why England have dropped spinner Dawson and picked four seamers, with Gus Atkinson, Jamie Overton and Josh Tongue coming into a refreshed attack. This is unlikely to be the runs-fest of Old Trafford, and a result should come one way or another. England lead the series 2-1, and a contest coloured by animosity between the two camps can still be drawn by India, something which captain Shubman Gill claimed would be a victory on hostile soil. From accusations of English time-wasting at Lord's, to handshake-gate at Old Trafford and Tuesday's squabble between India coach Gautam Gambhir and The Oval's head groundsman, it has been a spiky encounter. And neither captain would change a thing. 'No regrets,' said Stoke, while Gill insisted: 'The relationship [between the two teams] is fantastic. But in the heat of battle you do or say things you might not do.' The battle has one final instalment at The Oval. Only this time, England must find a way without their all-action hero taking the fight to India. England team for fifth Test v India 1. Zak Crawley 2. Ben Duckett 3. Ollie Pope (c) 4. Joe Root 5.

Sandoval dethrones flyweight world champion Teraji
Ricardo Rafael Sandoval produced an upset to dethrone Kenshiro Teraji of his WBC and WBA flyweight world titles in Yokohama, 26, climbed off the canvas in the fifth round to go toe-to-toe with the two-weight world champion.A brilliant, closely contested fight was not quite reflected in the scorecards, which was a split decision for California native Sandoval - 115-112, 115-112 and 113-114."I feel amazing. I never thought since I started at 10 years old we would be on this stage," Sandoval the scorecards there were no complaints from 33-year-old Teraji, who suffered just his second career defeat and his first since had been unified champion in two divisions, at light-flyweight and flyweight, and may now consider his defeat ended a disappointing night for the gathered Japanese fans as they also saw Daigo Higa yet again come agonisingly close to becoming bantamweight world it was another American who broke their hearts, as Texan Antonio Vargas produced a last-gasp knockdown to help retain his WBA bantamweight world title via a unanimous travelling champion was floored in the fourth round by Higa but secured his own knockdown in the final was enough to bring the scorecards level, 113-113, and ensure 28-year-old Vargas kept hold of his recently acquired world title. It is the third world championship bout in a row, all at home in Japan, in which Higa has failed to emerge victorious.A draw with Seiya Tsutsumi in February followed a points loss to WBO world champion Yoshiki Takei the previous was upgraded to WBA world champion when former title-holder Tsutsumi was forced to vacate because of a long-term injury."It's not the outcome I wanted. I guess it is a title defence. I wouldn't mind getting my rematch. I look forward to being back," Vargas said the contest, Tsutsumi entered the ring to call out Vargas, carrying his own WBA was open to the match-up, but Higa may well get the nod after a thrilling was some joy for the Japanese faithful in attendance as Kyosuke Takami stopped Erick Rosa in 10 rounds to claim the WBA light-flyweight title.
