Retired Trinidadian sprinter claps back at Asafa Powell for rubbishing his claims that Elaine Thompson-Herah is 'done'
Powell had admitted at 'losing respect' for Boldon for claiming Thompson-Herah was finished as a top level athlete, which has prompted the former 200m world champion into clapping back at him.
In a recent interview with Emily Orozco of Access Hollywood, Lyles shared his vision for a future beyond the track.
"I truly wish to be able to put together my own fashion line, not actually sports-focused, but actually casual wear focused," he said.
Lyles, who made waves at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest with his controversial comments about NBA champions not being "world champions," is now channeling that same confidence into his fashion ambitions.

'No Mercedes Benz for you!'- Daniel Komen's offer expires just as Jakob Ingebrigtsen shatters record

"Someday for sure... I've always believed that I'm one phone call away from the person I need to get in touch with," he said, flashing a characteristic smile.
"So one day, I'm going to figure out that phone call, and I'm going to make a call, and we're going to get that done."
Lyles has six world titles, four Diamond League Finals trophies, and three Olympic medals under his belt, including the highly coveted gold in the 100m thus his success on the track speaks for itself.

Letsile Tebogo's coach reveals how 21 days derailed 100m hopes against Noah Lyles at Paris Olympics
Botswana's Letsile Tebogo faced setbacks before finishing sixth in the 100m at the Paris Olympics impacted by a crucial 21-day loss.
But as Lyles continues to train for his specialty, the 200m, and compete in the 4x100m relay, his aspirations off the track are equally ambitious.
The conversation with Orozco did not just stop at casual wear.
When the interviewer mentioned the possibility of collaborating with popular singer-songwriter Pharrell Williams, who has been working closely with Adidas—Lyles’ main sponsor—on various clothing lines, the track star’s eyes lit up.
"I already know the person to call for that one," Lyles said confidently.
"That might happen a little quicker than we think."
