Tyson Fury fan, 14, camps out overnight to join boxing legend on 6am run

A Tyson Fury super-fan camped out overnight in order to join the boxing star on his morning run.

Schoolboy Presley Pennington, 14, was driven 50 miles to Morecambe by his parents in the hope of spotting the heavyweight champion at the crack of dawn. Presley slept in his parents' campervan before bumping into Fury, who is preparing for a potential fight with Anthony Joshua, as he jogged along the seafront at 6am the following day.

As he left the van, Presley woke up his dad, Arron, who said: "I thought he was bloody mad as I didn’t think he was going to do it. He was in the tent above the campervan and I said, 'What are you doing?'. He said, 'I’m going for a run with Tyson Fury', but I just said, 'You’re mad' and shut the window."
