Noah Lyles, the U.S. sprinter, has confidently proclaimed himself the fastest man in the world, while Tyreek Hill, the Miami Dolphins' speedy receiver known as 'Cheetah,' has expressed his belief that he could outrun Lyles. Earlier this year, the pair had agreed to face off on the track to determine who truly holds the title of the fastest. However, during a recent event in Cannes, Lyles revealed that their much-anticipated race, originally scheduled for this weekend in Times Square, has been cancelled due to unspecified complications and personal issues.

Lyles emphasized that significant preparations had already taken place for the event, including plans to transform Times Square into a racing venue complete with promotional billboards. The cancellation has left fans disappointed, as many were eagerly awaiting this showdown between two extraordinary athletes.
