Kelce was approached on the red carpet by Kelce Jam and asked about the Tyson-Paul fight.
“Mike Tyson or Jake Paul? Who wins this one?” asked sports reporter The Schmo.
After taking a big breath to think about his response, Kelce gave a surprise endorsement.
“Man, this is happening now, isn’t it?” Kelce said.

“I’ll take the kid from Cleveland, even though Mike is… damn, I feel silly saying this, but I’ll take Jake with the young man.”
Like Kelce, Jake Paul is from Cleveland, and the tight end showed his loyalty to the city with his selection.
However, he began to regret his choice when The Schmo asked if Paul would win by knockout.
“I don’t know if it’s a knockout,” Kelce said.
“I don’t know about the knockout artist. I never saw Mike get knocked out.”
Although Tyson delivered some of the most brutal knockouts boxing has ever seen, he also took some of his own.
In 58 professional fights, Tyson won by knockout 44 times, losing only five times.
Despite being 57 years old, Tyson is confident he will have the edge over Paul.
“I don’t know if he’s in his prime; he’s fat. He’s supposed to be skinny and mean. He’s fat and cool,” Tyson said in his press conference.
“You’re no Buster Douglas. You knock out kids. You’ve never knocked out a real man.”
Many fans are also rooting for Tyson, contrary to Kelce’s prediction.
“I’m going to cry if Mike Tyson doesn’t beat Jake Paul,” said one fan.
“Jake Paul can’t beat Mike Tyson, look at how they train,” said another fan.
“Jake Paul is going to play and get 3 whole minutes of PRIME Mike Tyson,” said a third fan.
“Get the stretcher ready,” said a fourth fan.
The fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson takes place on July 20th and is broadcast on Netflix.
