Sprinter Richard Kilty bets £30k he can beat Hector Bellerin, Theo Walcott in race

British sprinter Richard Kilty bets £30,000 that he can beat Arsenal duo Hector Bellerin and Theo Walcott in a race.

British sprinter Richard Kilty has offered to take on Arsenal stars Hector Bellerin and Theo Walcott in a race to prove that he is faster.

The 25-year-old is willing to put £30,000 on the line after a media report claimed that Bellerin has beaten Walcott's 40m-record to become the fastest man in the Arsenal team.

The report also said that Bellerin reached the 40m-mark in 4.42 seconds, which is quicker than six-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt.

On Twitter, Kilty questioned the claims by writing: "media claiming @HectorBellerin can run 4.42 over 40m. Absolutely no way. Are these journalists complete morons!

"I will put £30,000 on the line to race @HectorBellerin & @theowalcott any sprint distance, any time, any place, anywhere. The race will be over very quick. So if they put their money down I will gladly show everyone they can not sprint as fast as the media claim."

Kilty won gold in the 60m event at the European Indoor Championships in Prague earlier this year.
