Noah Lyles is getting challenged a lot these days. Being the fastest man alive, Lyles’ title seems to have a lot more competitors than everybody expected. Putting up a stellar show in Paris, Lyles had one of his best races in the men’s 100m final. Clocking a time of 9.79s, the American sprinter managed to clinch the Olympic medal. Of course it was after his time was tied with Kishane Thompson and the referees had to decide via photo finish. 

With the Paris Olympics done and dusted, Noah Lyles had room to spend some relaxing days. However, all of that seems to be a thing of the past. With a brand new challenge on the line, Lyles will have to once again don his racing boots. In a recent live stream of renowned YouTuber MrBeast, the social media content creator promised a prize of $100,000 for anyone who beats Noah Lyles. 

To make things interesting, MrBeast rang up another famous content creator, IShowSpeed. In a recently uploaded video, MrBeast could be seen urging Speed to accept the challenge. What was more interesting was that Noah Lyles himself was present in Orlando with MrBeast. The duo also had the stash of money next to them in a huge container, with $100,000 painted on it. Initially, after hearing the challenge, Speed looked hesitant. Shortly after, he accepted the challenge, saying, “Oh, Noah, Noah, Noah. Hey, race me, race me, race me… Hey, I need to prove the world. I’m the fastest man alive, bruh.”

Lyles mocked the YouTuber, asking him when he wanted to lose, which might have set the competitive juices flowing for Speed. He did complain about having to drive for three hours. He said, “I’m in Miami, bro. That’s like a three-hour drive.” Hearing this, the duo mocked him by saying, “Bro that’s your excuse?” But in the next instance, Speed accepted the offer. He said, “I actually am on stream right now and drive there right now and pull up. I’m not even trolling. I ain’t got nothing to do tonight.” Now, going by the stats, Noah Lyles seems to be the clear favorite if the race does materialize. 

However, this is not the first instance of Speed taking up unique challenges. The YouTuber, who is a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, has participated in celebrity football matches. He has also shown up on WWE, alongside Logan Paul, only to be attacked by Randy Orton. Thus, with very little doubts about his competitive spirit, the matchup would surely be an intriguing one. However, IshowSpeed is not the only one trying to challenge Noah Lyles’ ‘Fastest Man On Earth’ title.

Tyreek Hill and Noah Lyles got involved in a huge controversy

Noah Lyles has had his share of controversy recently. The most popular of them off late is his fallout with the Miami Dolphins’ wide receiver, Tyreek Hill. Soon after Lyles’ impeccable achievement in Paris, Hill mentioned that his 100-meter time was much slower. Hill also went on to state that in a race between the two, Hill would be able to beat Noah Lyles easily. Such a comment seemed to let the sparks fly and it was then that Lyles got involved. 

The duo engaged in a huge online banter, with Hill challenging Lyles by saying, “Sign the contract and lock in that 50 yard race.” Reacting to the challenge, Lyles stated that he would be up for the race if a suitable financial offer would be made. And guess what? Cut to the present day, the duo will reportedly be fighting it out on the racing track. 

As per the reports, Crews and Super Serious are teaming up with Duael to make this race a reality. Although not many details are available about the race, it is likely to take place in 2025. Thus, with a couple of challenges on the line, Noah Lyles seems to have his hands full. It will now be interesting to see how things pan out in the future.
