Malik Scott, the 46-year-old former heavyweight, turned heads in London when he walked the red carpet at the 2026 Ballon d'Or alongside his wife, the 45-year-old broadcaster Kate Scott. Kate co-hosted the gala with football great Thierry Henry as Harry Kane lifted the trophy, yet social media found a different focal point: her towering, tattoo-covered husband. Scott turned professional in 2000 and closed out a 16-year career with 38 wins, one draw and three defeats, one of which came against Deontay Wilder. He went on to become Wilder's head trainer and was in his corner for the 2021 trilogy fight with Tyson Fury. That was when the couple met, and they married in a secret ceremony in 2024.

But the past caught up with him. In the wake of the Ballon d'Or appearance, fans unearthed the fact that before meeting Kate, Scott had launched an OnlyFans account with his then-girlfriend, the model Nancy Ramirez, and explicit videos from it have since circulated online. "It's pretty cool. I mean, I get to express myself publicly in a sexy way with her... She's someone I believe to be a walking masterpiece," Scott told WorldBoxingNews in a 2019 interview. He also revealed that he had taken Ramirez through pad work in the ring, but never wanted to see her in an official fight. Since marrying Kate, the former fighter has walked away from adult platforms for good.
