Tommy Fury has returned to the track just hours after he was accused of lying about completing a 100km triathlon.

 

Tommy Fury has wasted no time getting back into action, hitting the track just hours after being accused of misleading fans over his participation in a 100km triathlon along the French Riviera.

The 25-year-old boxer and reality TV star recently took part in the gruelling T100 triathlon, which includes a 2km swim, 80km cycle, and 18km run. The event was promoted as a major endurance challenge, with Fury documenting the experience on social media and celebrating emotionally at the finish line with his fiancée Molly-Mae Hague and their daughter Bambi.

Fury posted a video of himself sprinting over the line, embracing his family, and later shared the moment on Instagram with the caption: “100km triathlon… completed.” However, just days later, it emerged that official race data painted a different picture.

According to the event’s timing partner Sportstats, Fury did not complete the full course, missing a significant portion of the 80km cycling segment. His official result was marked as “DNF” (Did Not Finish), prompting backlash from fans and critics who accused him of lying or exaggerating his achievement.

The Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO), which organised the event, later clarified that a number of amateur participants—including Fury—were unable to complete the full cycling leg due to road closures and safety cut-off times. Despite this, they were still allowed to take part in the run and cross the finish line to complete the experience.

“The course had strict time constraints for amateurs due to road reopening schedules,” a PTO spokesperson said. “Approximately 93 athletes, including Tommy, did not complete the full bike leg. While they were marked as DNF, they were encouraged to finish the run for the full experience.”

Still, Fury’s celebratory tone on social media and lack of clarity about not finishing the entire race led many to question whether he had intentionally misled fans. Critics argued that his posts gave the impression of a complete triumph, despite falling short of completing all three stages.

In response to the growing scrutiny, Fury has yet to issue a direct statement addressing the accusations. Instead, he appeared to shake off the controversy by returning to the track and participating in the Great North Run — just hours after the story broke.

The move is being seen by some as an attempt to reaffirm his commitment to fitness and endurance sports. Dressed in athletic gear, Fury was seen running with determination, seemingly unfazed by the headlines.

This isn’t the first time Fury has drawn media attention outside of boxing. Earlier this year, he returned to the ring with a win over Kenan Hanjalic in Budapest, pushing his professional record to 11-0. He has also been linked to a potential rematch with Jake Paul.

For now, Fury appears focused on keeping momentum in both sport and public life, despite the questions still hanging over his triathlon claims.

Whether his return to the track helps repair public perception or fuels further debate remains to be seen.
