IShowSpeed Claims Pro Athletes Are Now Afraid to Race Him After Close Match Against Noah Lyles

YouTube star IShowSpeed is taking his competitive spirit to new heights, claiming that professional athletes are now intimidated to challenge him on the track after his recent near-win against world champion sprinter Noah Lyles.

Speed’s daring stunts have been capturing attention all year, from jumping over moving supercars to sparring with top boxers in the Philippines. But it was his footrace against Lyles, arranged by YouTube giant MrBeast on November 6 with a $100,000 prize on the line, that has set the internet abuzz.

Though Speed lost by a narrow margin and expressed frustration, his confidence hasn’t wavered. In a live stream on November 11, he asserted, “Now, everybody is scared to race me… I’m calling everybody and anybody out.”

He even suggested that Lyles himself avoided a rematch, implying that the champion knew he’d lose.

With bold statements and challenges, IShowSpeed continues to raise the bar, inviting anyone brave enough to take him on.
