Tyreek Hill and Noah Lyles, two of sports' fastest stars, are getting ready for a head-to-head race.

Following months of trash talk and Twitter jabs, the Miami Dolphins' speedster and Olympic gold medalist sprinter have finally put their differences aside and agreed to put the argument to rest on the track.

The Challenge: NFL Speed vs. Olympic Speed

For months, Hill, who has a scorching 40-yard dash and is a football field force to be reckoned with, has boasted that he could outrun Lyles, the current 100-meter Olympic champion. According to PEOPLE, the feud began when Hill boldly asserted in August that he could outrun Lyles.

Lyles, always up for a challenge, retorted with a strong message during the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix on February 2. Having won his fourth consecutive 60m title, he waved a sign reading: "Tyreek could never."

That turned heads in the sports community, convincing fans that the two athletes would soon let their speed walk the talk.

Lyles Claims 'He'll Win When It Matters'

Lyles, 27, has no qualms with demonstrating himself on the global stage. Having won multiple world championships and an Olympic gold medal, he feels his record is self-explanatory.

"Everyone claims they're the quickest, but at the end of the day, you gotta win—period," Lyles explained to PEOPLE. "I go to the biggest stage and get the job done. If I need to outrun Tyreek just to prove that I'm the world's quickest, then fine."

In spite of his boastfulness, Lyles is a fan of Hill's ability and admires his speed on the gridiron. Nevertheless, he is adamant that raw track speed is superior to NFL speed as the distance goes up.

Hill Fires Back: He Can 'Take Over' Lyles' Sports Anytime

Hill, the much older competitor, has established himself as the league's fastest player, frequently torching defenders with his unreal burst. He's insisted that football players don't receive enough praise for their speed and thinks they could dominate on the track if they really emphasized it.

"I gotta do this for the guys who play my sport," the 30-year-old said. "NFL players ran track at some point—we can come in and take over your sport anytime if we really wanted to."

Trash Talk Heats Up Before the Showdown

Although Hill and Lyles have only exchanged a few words, their trash talk has already escalated.

"Me, mean as long as we ain't stuffin' nobody's mama into it, I don't care," Hill cracked. "We're here for a good time."

Lyles, who became more popular over his famous "World Champion" comment, gave Hill's demand for a shorter race a tongue-in-cheek rip. "I did that so as not to embarrass you," he said with a wink, hinting a 100-meter race would be a rout for him.

Hill, not one to take the high road, fired back with an insult at Lyles' looks: "The only thing blowing out is your hair, so you need to chill."

No official date or place has been announced, but the race is likely to occur sometime this Spring or Summer, before Lyles races in the US Championships in July.

Regardless of the result, this race is turning out to be one of the most thrilling cross-sport showdowns in history—a real test of speed between the world's fastest track and football athletes.
