"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.
