Jason Kelce is bringing the push tush to the ring.
Two years after retiring from the NFL, the Philadelphia Eagles alum tried his hand at sumo wrestling against three champion rikishi, including the 540-pound Ichinojo Takashi.
And that also meant stripping down in order to wear the tradition mawashi, a loincloth sported by sumo wrestlers.
“My belly is a little bit amped up,” the 38-year-old admitted on the Oct. 27 episode of his Kelce Versus video series. “I’ve been eating a lot of ice cream this summer.”
Kelce also acknowledged that his body isn’t as limber as it used to be, quipping as he stretched out his inner thigh, “Is it normal to sweat this much?”
“You’ve got good flexibility,” he told former sumo wrestler Nasanjargal “Zorig” Chinzorig while trying to maintain his balance. “I feel very open to my hips, that’s for sure.”
And when Kelce struggled with pushing a massive tire as part of his workout, prompting Zorig to help him, the former football player joked as he caught his breath, “OK, that’s embarrassing.”
