Tyson Fury enjoys fun encounter with Morecambe Parkrunners

World heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury had a light-hearted encounter with the participants in the Morecambe Parkrun.

Tyson was out for his morning jog on Saturday when he found himself running towards the start of the weekly community fun run which starts near The Battery on the promenade.

Fury decided to make a beeline for the crowd of runners, jogging through them as he filmed them for his Instagram story.

The Parkrun participants smiled, waved and laughed at the 6ft 9in boxing champ as he cheerfully told them: "You're all running the wrong way!"

See below for a still from Tyson Fury's Instagram of the Morecambe Parkrun runners.

Earlier, Tyson had posted footage of Morecambe Bay as he was running along the seafront.

"Final session of the week, nice little run down the promenade here in Morecambe Bay, absolutely beautiful, what a place," he said on the video clip, which he posted to his Instagram story.

Fury, 33, runs on Morecambe Promenade on a regular basis.

The WBC Heavyweight Champion has often spoken of how regular jogging on the prom helps him to manage his mental health.

The Morecambe Parkrun takes place every Saturday at 9am.
