Davies Challenges IShowSpeed to Footrace

by

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m just as excited as everyone else about the friendly footrace challenge that Canadian football sensation Alphonso Davies has extended to IShowSpeed! However, it seems like we’ll have to wait a bit before seeing these two speedsters go head-to-head on the track.

IShowSpeed’s energetic streams, captivating international travels, and jaw-dropping physical prowess have earned him immense popularity across the internet.

To put it simply, speed is now strongly associated with performing backflips. Notably, he’s tried to set a new world record by doing the most backflips within a day, and he even leaped over two moving sports cars in a daring stunt that quickly trended on social media.

In reply, various well-known athletes have jovially dared the YouTuber to compete with them, often proposing a race, typically a footrace.

Notably, Speed was able to match steps with Olympic sprinter Noah Lyles towards the end of 2024, and discussions regarding a competition against Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill have been ongoing for several months now.

Currently, soccer prodigy Alphonso Davies has expressed interest in competing against the renowned sprinter, Usain Bolt, potentially setting the stage for a thrilling contest, as hinted during a Twitch broadcast in April 2025.

Dear Speed, if you’re tuning in, I want to express my gratitude for your support. My man, although we can’t compete at this moment, a race between us is something I look forward to. When I recover completely, when I regain my strength and speed, we must make it happen.

At present, Davies is on the mend following an ACL tear during his game versus the U.S. National Team on March 24th. Yet, this setback doesn’t hinder him from formulating grand schemes for when he gets better.

During his live stream, I swiftly responded to Davies’ provocation, discussing his recent injury and proposing we engage in a friendly FIFA match online, rather.

In terms of Speed, he has demonstrated his ability to match pace with top-tier competitors, even outrunning Australian footballer Callum Brown in a 50-meter sprint last year.

The overconfident demeanor of the streamer regarding professional athletes has gained popularity to the point of becoming a common joke, even being mentioned in his advertisement with Dick’s Sporting Goods, where he asserted that he could surpass Olympic gymnast Sunisa Lee and football cornerback Travis Hunter.
