Noah Lyles recently provided a crucial update about the highly anticipated race between him and Tyreek Hill. The Olympic gold medalist expressed that although there was a lot of buzz about the race in the media, the distance of the race was not specified.

The two athletes have been challenging each other to a race ever since the conclusion of the Paris Olympics after Hill claimed he could beat Lyles easily in a head-to-head battle. After speculations about the race, the two athletes confirmed that they would be competing against each other in 2025 before the National Athletics Championships. The exact date for the race is yet to be announced.

Noah Lyles discussed their highly anticipated clash and gave exclusive details in an interview with Tiara Williams (@realtalkwithtee). He revealed that their race will be conducted like a professional race.

"Yeah, I noticed that we did a lot of articles, but they never told the distance. And it will be a 60 meters...So it will be a track race. There will be blocks. There will be reaction times. And there will be F.A.T. times. Oh, we ready. This ain't no 40 yard hand off the pad thing. No, this is legit. Wow. Track and field. Track and field style," he said.

Fans were elated by the revelation and took to X to express their thoughts on the clash between the two athletes.

"Noah, tyreek gonna fake an injury," a fan tweeted.

"Excited to see this sports crossover, especially great for track and field," wrote a fan.

"Tyreek about to get washed," another fan chimed in.

Here are some more fan reactions:

"Will it be soon? Indoors or outdoors. Exciting because it will show the world the difference between speed & Track Speed," wrote a fan.

"There was never any chance of Tyreek winning at any distance but for a fun exhibition a 40 would’ve made more sense," another fan chimed in.

"I wish they could’ve met somewhere in the middle tho… this is like an exhibition," another fan tweeted.
