Tommy Fury has gone viral once again after footage showed the professional boxer producing one of his trademark sprint finishes at the Great North Run.
The 26-year-old, who first rose to fame on Love Island before pursuing a boxing career, has become known for dramatic final bursts at public running events.
In January, clips of him charging to the line at a charity 10k in Tatton Park attracted significant attention online.
This time, Fury was filmed powering through the closing stages of the half-marathon in Newcastle, where more than 60,000 runners took part.

As he rounded the final bend, cameras caught him accelerating past fellow competitors in a determined dash for the line, with footage appearing to show him powering his fellow runners out of his way.
Social media reaction was swift, with fans sharing the video widely.
Some questioned his combative approach to overtaking, while others defended his competitive spirit and praised his ability to find a late kick after completing the 13.1-mile course.
One fan joked: “Plz tell me this is some kind of joke,” while another asked: “Why’s he pushing people out of his way?”

Fury has not commented publicly on his latest viral clip, though he has previously leaned into the attention his sprint finishes attract, often posting footage to his own social media accounts.
The Great North Run appearance came just days after Fury’s participation in a demanding 100km triathlon on the French Riviera also drew headlines.
The event, which included a 2km swim, an 80km bike ride and an 18km run, was his first triathlon after only ten days of training.
Fury completed the swim and bike legs before joining other amateur athletes in finishing the run, crossing the line in front of supporters and later sharing his effort online.

A clip of him sprinting through the finish went viral, attracting more than 250,000 likes on Instagram.
However, official timing data showed a number of participants, including Fury, did not complete the full bike distance after road closures were brought forward on the day of the event. The
Professional Triathletes Organisation later explained that several competitors were unable to finish the cycling section before cut-off.
In a statement, organisers said: “Due to our permit for the road closures in France, unfortunately Tommy and some other athletes in the 100km amateur race were unable to complete the bike course before the cut-off time.
"However, given our philosophy to grow the sport and encourage new athletes, we wanted to give them as full an experience as possible.
"So they were all given the opportunity to do the 18km run and cross the finish line.”
