And Abdo - who is in a relationship with former heavyweight-turned trainer Malik Scott - hopes it will fit into her TV schedule.

She told : "They offered me a fight, in August.

"Obviously, the football season's hard for me, I'm travelling everywhere.

"I'm never really home so I don't get to train consistently which means I don't get to improve consistently the way that I'd like to.

"But yeah, if I got to do a couple of months in camp in LA before I had to fight, yeah I'd be down."

Abdo began training when she moved to Los Angeles and regularly posts boxing videos with coach and partner Scott, who trains Deontay Wilder.

It led Misfits - home to celebrity-style crossover bouts - to open talks with the Champions League presenter.

But Abdo revealed no opponent has been offered.

She said: "I just love it, I've got the boxing bug. I started boxing a few years ago when I moved out to LA.

"I'd hosted a couple of fights on Sky before I moved to the US and then was going to continue hosting fights in the US.

"And to be able to speak with credibility about something you need to understand the environment and what people go through to a certain extent.

"Although I haven't been fighting professionally, I've been in and around that world and just being able to live it a little bit.

"So I feel like it's helped me do what I do. And I think when you're training you want to have purpose, you want to have something you're working towards.

"It's cool to be in the gym all the time but what am I doing it for? I'm a goal-oriented person and I think it's because of that."
