The world 100m hurdles champion, Tobi Amusan and the world 60m hurdles champion, Devynne Charlton will face each other again in the 60m hurdles in the New Balance Grand Prix, a World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meeting, in Boston today.
They met last over the distance in March 2018 when the Bahamian defeated Amusan for the second time in three meetings.
It was at the World Indoor Championships in Birmingham where Amusan ran 7.91 to come third in the first semifinal. Charlton ran 7.89 to place second in the semifinal heat.
Amusan, on Sunday will not only be keen to equal their head-to-head record, she will also target the 7.75 world leading time ran by the Bahamian at the Sports Performance Center in Lubbock, Texas on January 20, 2024.
The 26-year-old Nigerian ran a new 7.77 African record in Astana, Kazakhstan seven days later and will be eager to improve on that as she seeks to become the first Nigerian to win a World indoor and a world outdoor title.
Amusan towers over Charlton as the Nigerian holds a 20-2 head-to-head record against the 2022 World Indoor Championships silver medalist.
