Logan Paul is betting $100,000 that he's the fastest YouTuber, and is holding a track-and-field event this weekend to put that claim to the test.

Paul and more than 100 online video creators will be competing Saturday in the Challenger Games, a track-and-field-style competition. Fans can purchase tickets to see creators race in events including hurdles, long jump, and shot put. Proceeds from the event will go to charity, the Eventbrite page for Challenger Games says.

However, the headlining event will be the 100-meter sprint. Paul has been claiming that he's the fastest YouTuber on platforms from Twitter to Fox Business. He's putting $100,000 on the line to back his bet, which isn't much considering the YouTuber made $14.5 million in a year.

Paul appeared on Fox Business on Monday in a bizarre interview that left many on social media buzzing with questions. In between explaining that he's an "ex-controversial" YouTuber and admitting he's recently spent more money than he's brought it, Paul reiterated his claim that he's the fastest YouTuber.

"If I'm being quite honest with you, I'm the fastest YouTuber. I'm the fastest entertainer on the planet. I could be the quickest man on the planet," Paul said on Fox Business. "I'm betting $100,000 that I'm the fastest man on the planet."
