Tyreek Hill keeps throwing curveballs into the football world. The Superstar WR was a standout for the rampant Miami Dolphins offense, last season. After years of playing alongside the greatness of Patrick Mahomes, the receiver parted ways with the Chiefs franchise last offseason to set out on his own ventures within the league. However, everybody knows that Cheetah doesn’t back off from a challenge. And, it seems he has another one. 

Nicknamed ‘Cheetah’ for his inhumane speed, Hill proved his worth within Mike Mcdaniels’ offensive system leading the Fins to a 2nd seed within the AFC East. Even though QB Tua Tagovailoa’s injuries, Hill stood out. But his startling retirement claim in the middle of last season has put many fans on edge about the WR’s future. So what might be next for Tyreek?

Tyreek might be the fastest player ever on a football field in the NFL. But it seems like his future will see him enter the boxing ring instead. Appearing at F1 Weekend for the Miami GP, Hill threw out an open challenge to none other than ‘The Problem Child’, Jake Paul. “Jake Paul, Tyreek Hill. I’m telling you, so 2025, if I retire, I’m challenging you to a boxing match,” Hill told reporters at the race weekend.

Paul, fresh off his first professional loss to Tommy Fury, is hot for vengeance. After losing to Fury, Jake finally broke his unbeaten streak, ending it at 6 straight wins. The younger Paul has been the center of several challenges, including one from Hill’s former teammate, Le’veon Bell.

But Tyreek made sure to throw any comparisons between him and Bell out of the window. “This ain’t Le’Veon Bell, it’s Cheetah baby”, Hill bragged to reporters outside the Alpine Garage.

Tyreek Hill makes a visit to racing royalty

Hill may have been exploring his fighting side with his challenge to Jake Paul, but his visit to the Miami GP had a greater purpose. The WR was invited to visit the Team Alpine garage and even got a couple of rounds out at the track. But above all, Hill paired up with top racer Pierre Gasly, as the two met up in the Alpine Garage.

Suited up in the iconic pink Alpine overalls, Hill hit the circuit in the blue and pink livery of the Alpine. The WR took the race monster out for a few spins on the track, exploring his racing side as well. Brutal as the sport of F1 may be, Hill looked like he’d been born to ride behind the cockpit of the 15,000 RPM monster. If not for football or boxing, Tyreek Hill might definitely have a future behind the wheels of an F1 car.
