Tommy Fury has addressed the viral video of him running after fans claimed he nearly knocked over an older woman.
Having just broken his silence on revealing the reason behind his split from Molly Mae Hague, the Love Island star also recently spoke out on the now meme-ified clip.
Let’s be honest, the internet had an absolute field day in making jokes and just generally being baffled by the sheer speed of the boxer.

In case you’ve somehow not seen the viral clip, despite it being edited into all kinds of TikTok videos, it shows Fury absolutely sprinting to the finish line of a local 10k run on 4 January.
But, while most people just poked fun at the 25-year-old bombing it past the other runners, others slammed him for apparently nearly knocking over a woman.
Users mocked his initial video as they said he ‘almost wiped out someone’s nan’ and added: “That video of Tommy Fury sprinting past the senior citizens in a marathon is actually one of the funniest things I've ever seen.”
Others compared him to ‘that one kid in school who would run in between classes for no reason’.

And Darren Till even got in on it, writing on X: “I only said I’d kick him in the head and he’s still running.”
Fury initially shared the photo to Instagram Stories himself, saying: “Very big sprint finish,” with a laughing-face emoji.
Then, after doing a 10k in Lake Como yesterday (14 January), he made a little joke about that ‘sprint finish’.

“Right guys straight off the plane, straight on the road, 10k done,” Fury said. “In this beautiful scenery, Lake Como you are beautiful.
“And just to warn everybody, no grannies were hurt in the process at the finish line.”
A new interview released today (15 January) also saw Fury speaking out on his split from Hague, admitting an ‘alcohol problem’ was the reason behind it.
Rumours of him cheating on the influencer had circulated at the time, but he’s slammed this as ‘complete and utter b*****ks’.
“We broke up because I had a problem with alcohol and I couldn't be the partner that I wanted to be anymore. It kills me to say it, but I couldn't. I loved a pint of beer, loved to drink,” he told Men’s Health.

“People go through different things in life. I’m 25 years old. I went through a lot and my breakup was in front of the whole world. It was talked about on Good Morning Britain and I’ve received so much hate for it.”
