Travis Kelce has revealed his prediction for the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight in July, but immediately regretted his pick as he’s unsure the bout will end in a knockout.
Walking the red carpet at his Kelce Jam Festival in Kansas City, last Saturday, the 34-year-old, three-time Super Bowl champion gave his prognosis on boxing’s biggest fight this summer in Dallas, Texas.
‘Mike Tyson or Jake Paul? Who wins that one?’ asked sports journalist ‘The Schmo’.
‘Man, it’s going on right now, isn’t it?’ Travis replied before he was reminded that the fight is actually taking place on July 20.
‘I’m taking the Cleveland kid even though Mike is… gaw-lee, I feel silly for saying that, but I’ll take Jake with the youth,’ Kelce, who’s also from C-Town, added.

He was then asked if he thinks Paul will win by knockout.
‘I don’t know about a knockout…’ the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said. ‘Are they allowed to knock each other out?’
‘Yes, they are!’ replied ‘The Schmo’. ‘Real fight.’
Suddenly excited by the matchup, Kelce said: ‘I don’t know about the knockout man. I’ve never seen Mike get knocked out.’
Despite Tyson delivering countless of knockout victories throughout his career, he’s also experienced the adversity of being taken out cold.
Over the course of his 58 fights, Tyson suffered five knockout losses, three of which occurred in title fights.
What’s more is that last week, Tyson revealed that Paul gave him ‘an erection’ during both boxers’ pre-fight press conference.
He also called the former Disney star ‘fat’ as he continues to train ahead of the bout in two months’ time.
