Lyles was removed from winning an Olympic gold medal in the men’s 100 meter where he could have bagged the title of “fastest man alive”.

Speaking to NBC News, Lyles said, “I’m not here to play around,” Lyles. “I’m dead serious about this. I’m going to bring everything I got for this.”

It is known the duo is prepared to fight the race against each other. According to reports, Noah Lyles is taking this opportunity very seriously.

The American sprinter said that he spoke to Hills for the first time following the Indoor Grand Prix. The telephone conversation between the two athletes affirmed that they were serious about facing each other and therefore agreed to the race.

Lyles in the conversation made it clear to Tyreek Hill and said, “I don’t want you to think that I’m just out here joking.” “Let me be confident saying this. I’m your guy. I’m your guy who’s gonna to let you swing, but best believe I will dodge and you will get hit with an uppercut.”

He further said, “Something that’s constantly on my mind is how to keep track relevant.” “Track and field has a great reputation inside of the Olympics, but in the marketing sense, when it comes to the U.S., it’s just fallen short a few too many times.”

While speaking to NBC News, Lyles said how he has been trolled for racing against Hill. He said, “I get a lot of hate from people who don’t believe that I should be racing him. And they’re like, ‘This is beneath you.” “I want to be more than just a runner because there’s enough runners,” he added.

Seems like hate and war are on the sports ground as earlier Tyreek Hill said on NBC news that Lyles “should be scared” of him in a 40-yard dash. This statement was passed in early February.

As the conversation comes to and, Lyles sends a strong message to Tyreek Hill and said, “So Tyreek better be ready, because if a world record gets dropped on his head, he ain’t gonna be able to hear nothing.”
