In an interview with People, Hill and Lyles announced they would meet on the track in the spring or summer.
The date of star clash is still to be decided but will take place before Lyles competes in the USA outdoor track and field championships, which begin July 31. The location for the showdown of speedsters is also yet to be announced.
Hill and Lyles plan to race somewhere between 100 meters — the event in which Lyles bagged gold for the United States in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris — and 40 meters.
‘This has been an ongoing thing for, quite some time now, and I mean, everybody’s seen the back and forth on social media,’ Hill told People.
‘I’ve been very adamant to show people what real, true speed looks like,’ he added.
The athletes have jabbed at each other over the last few months, adding more heat to their faceoff.
In August, Cheetah challenged Lyles to a 50-yard dash.
Lyles then responded to the challenge by trolling Hill in an interview and pretending to forget his name.
Furthermore, Hill scoffed at Lyles collapsing on the track after his bronze-medal finish in the 200-meter dash in Paris and his viral comments ‘world champion’ comments from 2023.
Lyles pointed the spotlight on himself by arguing that NBA champions should not claim to be ‘world champions’ despite the best players being in the league.

‘Noah Lyles can’t say nothing after what just happened to him,’ Hill said. ‘Then he wants to come out and pretend like he’s sick. I feel like that’s horseradish.’
‘So for him to do that and say that we’re not world champions of our sport, come on bruh, just speak on what you know about and that’s track,’ Hill continued.
Lyles later claimed he had tested positive for Covid two days before the 200-meter race and was seen doing interviews and accepting his bronze with a mask on.
After winning the 60-meter final at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix on February 2, Lyles reignited the fire between him and Hill.
‘That’s why I’m the world’s fastest,’ Lyles said. ‘I did at the Olympics. I do it at world championships. I do it wherever it’s needed to be done.’
‘And if I gotta go down and, you know, beat up on Tyreek to prove that I’m the world’s fastest, then it’s gonna be done.’
