Morecambe motorcycle ace John McGuinness will appear on popular TV quiz show Question of Sport tonight (August 26) where you can see him cheekily mock fellow town sporting legend Tyson Fury!
In a preview clip released online, the 23-time TT Isle of Man motorcycle road race winner is seen impersonating the world heavyweight boxing champion's running style in light-hearted fashion.
"Tyson Fury only lives about a mile from me, you see him training," John tells presenter Paddy McGuinness.
"But I don't know what he's doing, he doesn't really run much."
John then did a quick impression of the 6ft 9in WBC Heavyweight Champion running, as host Paddy McGuinness said: "I wouldn't really be insulting Tyson Fury on the telly! Especially if he lives near you."
McGuinness joked: "I'll be on the motorbike, I'll be gone, don't worry about that!"
In tweeting a clip from tonight's show, the Isle of Man TT Races Twitter page @ttracesofficial asked: "The question is, who is your money on in the Morecambe match-up, McGuinness or Tyson Fury?"
The Morecambe-based heavyweight fighter is pictured below.
John replied on his own Twitter @jm130tt.
"Oh dear!! Looks like I'm getting a fat lip!!!"

'The Morecambe Missile' will appear on the long-running TV sport quiz show alongside team captains, Olympic gold medal-winning hockey player Sam Quek and former England rugby union star Ugo Monye, and fellow panellists England cricket great Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff, boxing star Joshua Buatsi, and wildwater canoe world champion Hannah Brown.
McGuinness, 50, is second on the all-time list of wins around the iconic and dangerous Isle of Man circuit. He was born in Morecambe and was awarded an MBE for services to motorcycle racing in 2021.
In June, John teamed up with Paddy McGuinness on BBC motoring show 'Top Gear', when presenter and comedian Paddy drove the TT star's truck in a challenge against fellow hosts Flintoff and Chris Harris. Photo from @jm130tt, John's Twitter page.
