Olympic champion Noah Lyles has confirmed that preparations for showdown with NFL star Tyreek Hill with potential undercards to feature.

Olympic sprint champion Noah Lyles recently shared tantalizing insights into a potential head-to-head match-ups as part of the showdown with Tyreek Hill.

Joined by fellow American Olympians Benjamin Rai and Grant Holloway on the Beyond the Records podcast, Lyles gave fans a sneak peek into the exciting possibilities, hinting at matchups that could bring new energy to the world of track and field.

“You guys are definitely going to want to stay tuned to these next few episodes,” Lyles teased.

“Every time we get together, new information is going to be coming out," he added.

The discussion quickly turned lively, with Holloway expressing enthusiasm for Lyles' vision of integrating track with other sports to broaden its appeal.

“I think that’s going to open a lot of eyes. You know how everybody always compares football and track? You got my attention, I’ll tell you that,” Holloway said.

Lyles stirred the pot further by proposing the idea of an undercard race featuring Holloway and Rai.

"If we have an undercard, would you race?" Lyles asked as Rai and Holloway both jumped on the opportunity.

Holloway, known for his charismatic presence, upped the ante, declaring, "I'll race undercard. I’m calling Christian Coleman out."

The concept of track versus other sports took center stage, with Lyles suggesting intriguing matchups like Christian Coleman versus football star Xavier Worthy in a 40-yard dash.

“We’re talking Christian versus Xavier Worthy,” Lyles said, envisioning a crossover event.

Holloway jumped in, adding, “Let’s do it. If Noah’s going to race Tyreek Hill and we can get Coleman and Worthy, look, I’ll take the undercard with you. I think it’d be good.”
