IShowSpeed and Jake Paul are officially set to race each other for $25,000.

Popular streamer, IShowSpeed, recently accepted Jake Paul's challenge to race him in a 40-yard dash. The celebrity YouTuber and influencer boxer recently said he could beat IShowSpeed in a race, which sparked some backlash, as Speed is well known for how fast he is.

Jake Paul to race IShowSpeed for $25,000

On a recent podcast, Jake Paul declared that he was faster than IShowSpeed. When told he was wrong, Paul officially challenged Speed to race him in the 40-yard dash, the winner paying the loser $25,000.

Speed then went live on his own YouTube channel, declaring that he was officially accepting Paul's challenge. The streamer then called Paul, letting him know that the race was on.

"That is free money," said Speed after calling Paul up on his livestream, letting him know he was accepting his challenge. "Let's race then. Let's go."

While Paul has proved his athletic ability by being one of the best influencer boxers out there, Speed is still a runner that would be tough to beat. The streamer has even raced against famous Olympic athletes in the past.

When will the two race?

As of now, there is not an exact date on when the two will race, but Jake Paul already told IShowSpeed he would fly him to Puerto Rico, where the race would take place.

Speed offered to hold the race tomorrow, but Paul quickly shut that idea down, saying he was not able to. With Speed itching to show how fast he is, we should expect to see the race happen within the next week or so.

So, who do you think would win in the 40-yard dash? Jake Paul or IShowSpeed?
