Schoolboy tags along with Tyson Fury for his morning jog - after travelling 50 miles and camping out all night

A young schoolboy camped all night just for the chance to run alongside his sporting idol, Tyson Fury.

Presley Pennington, 14, drove 50 miles with his parent from Burnley to Morecambe to see if he could spot the world heavyweight champion on his morning workout routine. He even went as far as sleeping in a canopy above his parent's campervan just for the opportunity to see the 'Gypsy King'.

It was all worth it for the schoolboy as he managed to bump into the boxer during a 6am run along the seafront. The excited youngster even managed to film a video of meeting his idol, where he can be heard excitedly yelling "with Tyson on a run" while the champion encouraged him.
