Boxer Tommy Fury Pushes Rival Amid Great North Run Crowd

Tommy Fury has sparked controversy after videos from the 2025 Great North Run showed him pushing fellow runners aside during his sprint finish, a behavior that has drawn significant criticism online. Fury, known for his dramatic race finishes, was seen shoving competitors at the final corner, with some viewers calling his actions unnecessary and questioning his sportsmanship. This incident follows earlier accusations that Fury lied about completing the 100km T100 French Riviera Triathlon; official data indicated he did not finish the cycling portion, contradicting his claims on social media. Despite these controversies, Fury completed the Great North Run in a fast time of 1:34:35, placing 2,061st out of approximately 60,000 runners. While some have defended him by noting the race's tight conditions, the predominant public response has been critical of his running etiquette and truthfulness about his triathlon performance. Fury's repeated sprint finish antics and the triathlon dispute have made him a polarizing figure in the running community this year.
