'We handling that'- Fred Kerley's warning shots to Lyles, Thompson & Co ahead of 2025 World Championships
Kerley is eager to reclaim the top spot in 2025 with the World Athletics Championships on the Horizon in Tokyo.
Kerley’s bronze medal performance in the men’s 100m final at the Paris 2024 Olympics was a remarkable rebound after what many had labeled a challenging season.

The result has reignited Kerley’s drive, with the sprinter putting rivals like Lyles, Thompson, and others on notice as he targets a return to dominance in 2025.
The Tokyo World Athletics Championships, a key highlight of the season, will provide Kerley the opportunity to reclaim his status as one of the fastest men on the planet.
