For the past 12 months, the track and field world has been hyping up the eagerly anticipated showdown between Josh Kerr and Jakob Ingebrigtsen and on Sunday, Kerr sounded like Don King in his prime when asked what people should expect when the reigning world and Olympic champion square off in Paris on Tuesday night.
“They should be expecting one of the most vicious and hardest 1500 metres this sport has seen for a very long time,” Kerr said. “I am ready to go after it. I think we all are. There has been a lot of talk and words over the last 12 months, even two years. I am looking to settle that on Tuesday and give it my best performance. I will show that in the final.”
