Tyson was barefoot with 6'4" Vince Vaughn (who was in shoes). But yeah even considering he is losing an inch or whatever on footwear he doesn't look 6'7" there.
I think when standing straight though, he's a strong 6'7" range guy. Or else we're seeing Wlad dip into the 6'4" range and Deontay Wilder sub 6'6".

I think Tyson at 6'7.25" - 6'7.5" range is a fair estimate. He has naturally poor posture, but has looked a little over 2" taller than Wlad (in my view probably a solid to strong 6'5" guy in the evening) and a little over 1" taller than Wilder (who I used to think was 6'6.5" but after seeing him look shorter than 6'6.5" Breazeale I think seems more 6'6" - 6'6.25").
I used to think it was more possible Fury was closer to 6'8", but I don't believe that to be the case now. He can honestly look 6'6" in a lot of situations, and yes posture, footwear, and angles come in to play but I've seen him look 6'6" too many times to believe he's a 6'8" guy. More like 201 - 202 cm when standing straight, but often using languid posture.

Rob could you please evaluate this video of Tyson with 6'4 listed Vince Vaughn?
Click Here
Tyson even mentions Vince being tall, but in this video, Tyson doesn't even look imposing over Vince considering he should be quite abit taller, it's not the best video to evaluate the heights because you can't see the footware but I'm guessing Tyson is barefoot in that video or either in flat boxing shoes but I don't entirely know.
Either way Tyson is definitely not 6'9" and that's pretty obvious, I don't know why he still thinks he's that height but he's been questioned and exposed many times with the 6'9 claims, even recently by Wallin at the staredown, even though Fury is inches taller, he still got called upon being at 6'7", which seems about right, you can tell he's slightly smaller in height than David Price which is seen in multiple pictures and also smaller in height than Magic Johnson.

Editor RobYeah they probably weren't looking more than 2 inches apart. Tyson being struggling recently with looking over 6ft 7...is he too young to have lost height? Maybe his couple of years out and bad habits are catching up.

@Gman39, well spotted. Must be the first time i see somebody on the scale with shoes on. So, there's still case for 6'7 for Fury, espesially when you look at Otto with a 192cm listed boxer.

Otto may very well be just 194-195cm.

In the video where Otto calls Tyson out about the 6'9" claim, Otto had a footwear advantage and still came up 2" short. I wonder why he thought he was only an inch smaller?

I thought he looked more than 2" taller than Wallin in the ring. But Wallin's height is debateable. Maybe he's more 6'5" than 6'5.5".
Fury can look anywhere from 6'6" to 6'8" at a given moment depending on his posture.

At the weigh-in Tyson was wearing thick, white thick-soled sneakers (even on the scale which is unusual), and Wallin was in what appears to be black socks. Near the end of the video, the camera pulls back and you can see their feet, briefly. I think Wallin is 6'5.

I'd say 6'8". His posture is pretty bad most of the time, making him not appear as tall.

Wallin is around 195 cms. I think I remember him being billed at that height in his amateur career. That extra inch is the typical inch they add on all athletes in showbiz.

Actually the difference was about the same in the weigh in. It just looked bigger due that mask Tyson was wearing. If you look at Tyson eye level, it hits the same place in Ottos forehead in both cases. There's at least 0.5in "air" in top of that mask, i think Click Here

When Tyson stood tall it was closer to a 3 inch difference with Wallin.
Wallin looks 6'5, so Tyson was looking 6'7.5/6'7.75 range.

It also occurred to me that Otto Wallin may have mentioned 197 (his metric height) rather than 6'7" in US. So goes to say, I really don't know whether Tyson said he was 6'7" or 6'9", nor do I know if Wallin was commenting on both their heights or just his own.

I noticed the footwear in the Wallin stare down too. Wallin's nike sneakers vs Fury's loafers Click Here
Seems like Fury might have a good cm less in footwear. So if Wallin's billed height of 197 cm is true Fury really looks closer to 6'8" than 6'7".
However upon further review to OriginalAnon's interpretation of the video - looking at it again maybe Fury really did say he was 6'7" to Wallin. When I first heard it I thought he said 6'9" but I can hear how it sounds like 6'7" too. And it seemed like Wallin repeated something back to Fury about the height of 6'7" before claiming 6'6". Fury objected to the idea (rightfully) that he was only an inch taller than Wallin. It would be really cool if we could hear that part of the conversation without all of the background noise.

In Fury's latest stare down with Wallin, Wallin asked Fury his height. He appeared to say "6-9". Then Fury asked Wallin how tall he was, and it seemed like Wallin told Fury "you're 6-7, I'm 6-6": Click Here
To be fair though, Wallin's estimation that Fury was only an inch taller than him didn't look right. The gap looked to be 2".

Seemingly slouching, in the ring Fury still had a big height advantage over Schwarz Click Here
We don't know if Schwarz is his billed 6'5.5" height, but if he is then in that photo Fury looks like he could even be a strong 6'8" range type if standing straight. Maybe Schwarz is more like 6'5" flat later in the day.
Right now I think Rob's listing is good overall, Fury can be tricky height wise. You can swear he's 6'7" max one moment and then he'll suddenly look closer to 6'8" in situations where footwear isn't involved.

You can see Fury look well taller than Schwartz or his 6'5" listed trainer: Click Here
Fury was wearing either thin loafers or barefoot. In fact, there was a video out there of Fury taking off the shoes and walking around MGM barefoot post fight. Presumably Schwarz is barefoot.
The camera angle favors Fury over Schwarz, but it's one of those videos where you start to see what he's talking about when he claims 6'9". Not that I think he'd measure that tall, but like many athletes do... When you measure in shoes and round up, you get there for Fury. He's over 6'7" when standing well, although maybe not more than 6'7.5".

Editor RobHe could be wearing a 2cm lift, but also his head might be closer. He certainly was a lot closer at times to Tyson that both their height claims seemed to never be possible.

Can someone set me straight please. I’ve been hearing Fury is 6’8” but judging by the pictures with Wilder, he barely looks 6’7”.
Either Fury is shorter than he says he is or Wilder is wearing boots

Lol so much for Tom Schwarz being the same height as Fury
Schwarz was wearing huge shoes all week. As soon as they're in trainers he gets dwarfed

Everyone saying he wasn’t much taller then Tom Schwarz but the face off in the actual fight told a different story looked 2-3 inches bigger but during the press conference face off only looked 1 inch bigger. Still think Tyson is only 6’8ish region

Tom is shorter than his trainer, former heavyweight boxer, Ulli Kaden. Ulli is 6'5,so Tom is probably around 6'4.5.

Funny how all Fury’s opponents get their heights bumped up when they face him to legitimise his own ridiculous 6’9 claim. People are now saying Schwarz is 6’6. Hahaha

Fury once more looks about 6'7.5'' if Tom Schwarz is his given height of 6'5''. There is not a 4 inch height difference between the two fighters when they stand head to head. It's between 2 and 3 inches I'd say.

Lol no, Fury was easily the taller of the two. Click Here
You can sort of see their footwear as well - Tom Schwarz's was thicker. On the face to face, Tom stood tall and raised his eyelevel to feel taller the whole time. But you can see whenever Fury isn't slouching for a pose that he's got an obvious height advantage throughout the whole video.

I think Schartz is a legitimate 6ft 5.5 to be honest, as his listed height seems very specific he seems about 2 to 2.5 inches shorter than Fury Click Here I don't think Tyson Fury had the best posture either and this is very typical in faceoffs as of course, he isn't going to maximize his height as he won't be able to actually look into Schartz's eyes. I also feel like the camera angle affected it as well. He seems to be about 6ft 8.

No way. Fury is taller than Tom and Tom wears very high sneakers (Nike air Max 4 cm), while Fury wears flats. In my opinion Tom is 195-196 barefoot and Fury 200-201 barefoot too. No way 206, but 203 maximum in sneakers.

Don't know how tall fury is now as lots of photos say different things used to think he was around 6'8" give or take now I'm not so sure, he may only be 6'7" or 6'7.25" like some people here say. It will be interesting to see what the height difference is between me and him as I'm 6'6" myself. Even if he is only 6'7" or 6'7.25" he's still an extremely tall guy though very few people are that sort of height, I think he just says 6'9" because he's a larger than life kinda guy.

To me the Magic Johnson photos finally put to bed the notion that Fury is 6'9''. He is clearly the shorter man and much slimmer these days. Fury is probably around the height given on this page 6'7.5''. This is what Wlad Klitchko guessed him as after meeting him.

Robbe brings up a good point about the Fury-Magic pics. There could be some distortion from the able like the Wlad-AJ one. Based on the apparent head sizes. And Tyson is probably at a footwear disadvantage. Fury being a 201 - 202 cm guy with an oft slouchy posture adds up overall. He can't be anything like 6'9" barefoot.

I dont think there's any photos of Fury and AJ together. Nor of AJ and Wilder together. But if you look AJ and Wilder compared to 6'6.5 Breazeale, they look very similar.

@Thomas Roberto, Fury is way closer to the camera in your last post, its not a good picture to judge their height difference. What comes to Magic pictureäs, Fury indeed looks cleary shorter there. We all know Magic is 6'7.5 at the best, so that would make Fury under his current listing. But Magic's head looks huge in both pictures, so it's probably just the case of camera angle favoring Magic in those pictures. I dont think he is so visible taller than Fury in reality. Both are around 201-202cm.

@Thomas - He looked plenty taller than Noah in the other picture considering the likely footwear difference I thought. If you look at their eye levels and shoulder levels especially (because Noah has a hat) Tyson looks convincingly taller. Factor in the footwear and I can believe it's a pretty sizable difference. Although I don't know Noah's height exactly. But if Noah is 6'6" you could easily see Tyson being a big 6'8" range guy.
It's the Magic Johnson pictures that make me question things. Tyson look weirdly short next to Magic - makes me suspect Tyson could be 6'7" with Wladimir 6'4.5" - 6'4.75" and Deontay somewhere in the 6'5.5" - 6'6" range at a low. Tyson really seems more 6'6" next to Magic, but we already know he's good at looking shorter than he should in some photos. For example, next to big guys like Alex Ustinov you can see Tyson isn't a 6'6"-er as Tyson has a small, but apparent height advantage over the billed 202 cm Ustinov.
Regardless of whatever Tyson might measure, he's very difficult to pin down. He can look a believable 6'8" in one photo and struggling with 6'6" in the next.

Magic probably had a bit of footwear advantage ( nothing about lifts ) and was a bit closer to the cam . He is billed 6'9 and we know he is closer to 6'7 but not necessarily a 6'7 flat . 6'7.5 it's ok to him and 6'7.25 do Tyson

Anyone who is aware of Magic Johnson's height knows Larry Bird had him by an inch and a half back in the 80s for sure. So it's really weird to see Tyson essentially look like he's struggling hard to be even 6'6" there. I wouldn't blame someone for estimating Tyson as a 6'5.5" guy from those photos alone.
Lest we forget, Tyson standing decently can look like he has a significant height advantage over Deontay Wilder, who most people estimate to be at least 6'6" himself: Click Here
Tyson did have very thin shoes on the Magic Johnson day (seen in the first picture) and did look pretty tall next to 6'6" listed (is he really that tall though?) Noah Syndergaard (who probably has baseball cleats vs Tyson's thin shoes): Click Here
However even accounting for thin footwear, in the Magic Johnson photos he just undeniably looks the shorter guy for whatever reason. It doesn't seem to make sense, but it's there. We know Magic is closer to 6'7" than the 6'9" he was listed at, and he doesn't particularly strike me as a lift wearer (although you never know I guess).

I would say yes Peak Taker was taller than Fury, I'd say Taker peak was 6'7.5, he himself claimed that he is 6'8, Bruce Pitchard who knows him, said in 2017 that Taker is 6'7, so maybe he said that after Taker lost some height, for me he was between 6'7 and 6'8 peak, Fury is 6'7-6'7.25 at most.

@Lanny - I wouldn't bet on peak Taker edging out Fury. Fury looked taller than the 6'7" guy anyway and seemed to be standing with worse posture (granted we can't see either shoes).

I think the difference between Wlad and Fury is 2.5 inches.

@Mickie Is there any good picture of them in the ring that shows the height difference? Boxing shoes of course aren't the same as normal shoes

@ Thomas Roberto - I think for morning heights your guesses are probably quite accurate. Wladimir himself has reportedly mentioned that 6'6" is a morning height. Fury can look about 2.5 inches taller at times when Wladimir wasn't in lifts.

Tyson Fury to me is around 6 foot 8 and 1/2 inches. If Wilder is 6 foot 7 and Wlad is around 6 foot 6, I think it's fair to say that he has the height advantage over both of them.

Here Fury is next to Wlad at a presser. He's looking at least 6 foot 8 .5 or 6 foot 9.

I have whatch tyson a number of times against other guys and i would definately say he was a good ft6,9. Because he was a few on wladimir and wladimir had to box upwsrds and take chances like he hadn,t before. If you look at the 2 face to face you would say for sure tyson is no less than ft6,8.

@JD1996 - I agree he drops height a lot with posture. I spent a long time trying to explain that to people before the Wilder fight, but people didn't really accept it until they saw them in the ring in boxing footwear. I think the worst case for Fury is a strong 6'7" but I can also envision the possibility of him straightening up to a weak 6'8". In any event, I think Rob's 6'7.5" listing can't be far off (for later and the day and barefoot).

I think if he stood with better posture he would surprise people with how tall he actually is, i think in his usual slumpy posture looks about 6'7" but if he stood properly he would be 6'8" or very close to it. One of my friends is an example of this, he can often look barely 6'4" but when when he stands properly it's clear he's at least 6'5" same situation for fury I would say.

79.75-80 inches tall evening imo, not 6'9" barefoot probably at or near it in shoes though. He's noticeably taller than wilder about 1 3/4 inches.

@Crane - For Fury I think his looking taller than Alex Ustinov and Scott Belshaw, close to Wach's height (with thinner footwear) , and appearing something in the neighborhood of an inch and a half taller than Wilder in the ring and press conference makes over a flat 6'7" in my book. But I do think David Price is the taller of the two.

@Crane: wilder is 6’6 and so is Joshua 6’5.5-6’6” he’s not as low as 6’5” next to Rob. But for Fury I have him about what you said 6’7.25 and 6’8” out of bed.

@Canson Fury was never 6'8.. In fact, he was not even 6'7.5.
Fury real height, when he made his Boxing debut was 6'7 then later changed to 6'9 and then down to 6'8.
The same goes for 6'6 Deontay Wilder and 6'5 Anthony Joshua.
The only true 6'8 Boxer is David Price.

I doubt he would maintain 6’8” throughout the day but he would perhaps wake up a little over and come down to around 6’7.25. I think a low may be 6’8.5 in some shoes

@movieguy12 If you meant me as the poster who suggested 6'6" - I didn't mean to suggest Tyson was only that height. I only thought he looked 6'6" in the one of photos next to Patrick and that he looked 6'8" in the other photo from the mobile phone. As for what he'd actually measure - I think worst case scenario for Fury is a strong 6'7". I could picture him measuring closer to 6'8" too honestly. He has pretty lax posture a lot of the time, and can look shorter than he'd actually measure.

Great job by Mickie to work up the comparisons. The only thing I am sure of is that Fury is between 6'7 and 6'8. He is not a guy I can settle on a single height with - the jury is still out. Hopefully we will see him facing off with Joshua sometime soon..

Great photos from Patrick Whelan. It is strange how the difference looks noticeably greater in the mobile than pro photo as Patrick himself says. There is no way Fury is only 6'6'' though as possibly suggested by another poster. The minimum I'd go with if the 6'7.5'' height given on this page. Fury might not be taller than this but he isn't shorter either.

I took a stab at making 2 comparisons between Fury with Patrick and Kevin Nash with Rob. Photo 1 Fury looked a couple pixels taller than Nash, and in comparison 2 Nash looked solidly an inch and a half taller, like the difference is listed at on this site: Click Here
Each big man looks like they're not standing quite at full height in the pics. I'd say Nash "appears" 202 cm range in the pictures if you don't account for posture, and Fury "appears" around 202.5 - 203 cm in the first and perhaps 198 cm in the second. He only looks 6'6" to me there, even though I see more 6'8"-ish in the first. I do think Nash measures over 6'8" standing straight.

Mickie : yea it is my Twitter pic 👍🏻 Rob .. sent some pics in an email to you. Is weird as got 3 pics with Fury that night . 2 on my mobile that an employee of the leisure centre took.. and 1 that was a Pro one all on a proper tripod ..very straight on etc . In the Pro one Fury appears to look not quite as tall as in the Mobile taken ones !.. even though was only about an hour or so between pic taking. It’s possible in the pro one that Tyson could be a clear foot taller fhan me. Therefore could be that he is indeed a bit under 6 feet 8 as you have him listed... and his shoes rounded him up to 6.8... me standing 5.8 ish 👍🏻 He’s a great character Fury.... and can be guilty of slight exaggeration in the past . I guess it’s all part of the Gypsy King Charm and Character 😁💪🏼

@184guy2 - I don't think he's quite 6'8" later in the day, but I think he could be very close to that. He doesn't stand well much of the time, which makes people think he's shorter than he really is. I wouldn't rule out something like 6'7.75". He was distinctly taller than Wilder when both were in boxing shoes. The estimate would depend on how tall you think Wilder is. Fury is more than one inch taller but less than two inches, in my opinion.

What sticks in my mind is that Wlad (sneakers) was able to match Fury (barefoot) for height, I imagine Wlad had orthodics or a lift in those sneakers. Still, Wlad 6'5.25 + 2 inches = 6'7.25. That is what Fury seemed on that day. I do believe 6'5.5 is possible for Wlad but still, I can't quite figure Fury out.

I'm not sure about downgrading Wilder. He went back to back with Vitali Klitschko and was the same height. Vitali looks 6'7''. Also his brother Wlad has said in a comparison between Wilder and Joshua that Wilder is taller. Again how tall is Fury actually? OK the 6'9'' seems slightly inflated but is he only a little shorter than this which would mean Wilder could still be 6'7'' or so.

I can see Wilder 6'6 flat and Fury 6'7.25. I still believe 1.5 inches represents their max height difference. There are still numerous photographic examples of a 1 to 1.25 inch height difference.

@JD1996: at times 1.5” may be the truth. I’ve seen as low as 3cm at times as well but maybe as high as 4. I think if Rob dropped Wilder to 6’6” flat seeing as how he looks shorter than Melo due to the angle of the pic it would correct it. A 6’6” wilder and a 6’7.5 Fury make math work

@Mickie: I doubt that high out of bed. I do agree probably a full inch tho for someone his size. I would go with 6’8.25 out of bed or between 6’8-6’8.25 then 6’7-6’7.25 for the low. That’s kinda like Lebron when people refer to him as 6’9” although I have Lebron as a solid 6’7” max but Fury would be probably weak 6’8 in the morning after an hour or two when he would be measured making him 6’8.5-6’8.75 with shoes then. But I won’t rule out closer to 6’7.5 and 6’8.5 either since the listing and since he had a pronounced advantage on Wilder.

I'd say a worst case scenario for Tyson would be about where Canson has him, a strong 201 cm. But personally after seeing the Wilder fight and build up, it's got me thinking that the 6'8.75" he's been listed at might well be his out of bed height. I just thought he looked a good inch and a half taller than Wilder, who I see as being 6'7"+ out of bed.
If Fury is 6'8.75" first thing in the morning, I think that'd suggest a weak 6'8" for his afternoon height (he's such a big guy, I'd imagine he'd lose at least a full inch). If Tyson is really 202 cm or less, I think Deontay Wilder's 6'6.5" listing needs to be brought down. If I was Rob, I would consider listing Tyson a fraction higher and/or Wilder a fraction lower.

No less than 6’7” but quite possibly 6’7.25. That’s very much in line with a typical athlete claiming 6’9” as they would be a bit taller earlier in the day and near 6’9” in shoes at that stage

Tyson Fury stands no more than 6'9" after sleeping for 12 hours .
After a long day of work he can't be under 6'8" , as a human being loses about 1 percent of his height throughout the day .
Conclusion : Nothing under 6'8" makes sense , I thinks everyone agrees that Wilder is at least 6'6.5" at night and 6'7" when he wakes up . The height difference between these two men are not more than 2 inches , it can not be !

2 views - first what Tyson looks like tip toeing with Wilder. Second, what he looks like flat footed with similar posture to Wilder: Click Here
I think Tyson has Wilder by a solid inch and a half. The more I look at it, the more I can understand the difference being nearly 2". But I'll still go with 1.5" for the time being. I think that's fair. When Tyson doesn't stand tall, they can look much closer in height. He drops a lot of height at times.

JD1996, I believe Tyson is tip-toeing in your photo, their height difference is not quite that much. It's about 1.25 to 1.5 inches imho. It could be 6'6.25 Wilder and 6'7.5 Tyson.

Click Here The difference betweeen wilder and fury seems around 5 cm to me, whatever wilder is fury is about 5 cm taller. Wilder could be 6'5.75" I'm not really sure on his actual height tbh looks about an inch taller than wladimir klitschko does.

@ Christian - I used to think the difference was 2 to 3 cm also, but my mind changed after the final press conference, weigh in, and most of all seeing them in the ring. Having seen them both in scant footwear like boxing shoes I think the difference is more like 1.25" - 1.75" range instead. About an inch and a half give or take. Can't see just an inch.

6’7” wouldn’t make Deontay 6’5.25. That’s an inch or max 3cm between them. If anything 6’5.75 perhaps but that is believeable with Wilder and Carmelo Anthony in the pic since Melo is slightly taller (not sure how much camera influences it). I have wilder 6’6” flat

3cm difference is the max. 2.5cm is possible as well, putting Fury at 6'7" flat.

@184guy: probably strong 6’7”. Like 6’7.25. He’d make 6’9” in shoes if he had a physical around the time of a combine although a flat 6’7” wouldn’t be much of a surprise either to tell you the truth. I can see 6’8” out of bed

Looked enormous on SPOTY last night. Dwarfed Gary Lineker. It’s at times like that when he can look a believable 6’9”. Not saying he is, but he can look it.

@184guy2 - Fury had no footwear advantage over Wilder nor tip toed in the ring. But Fury still was 1.5" taller than Wilder. Btw I thought he had an easy 2" on Joe Joyce, although Joyce's hairstyle leaves some reasonable room for debate.

Generally in all pics Fury had the footwear advantage over Wilder. Other thing , Fury usually tip toeing agains his oponents to look even taller. Fury struggles to looks over 6'7 with 6'5.5 listed Joe Joyce in same footwear and similarly posture .

Fury looks to be the same height as price or at most 1 cm shorter Click Here and fury honestly looks around 1.75-2 inches taller that deontay wilder who is an inch or up to 3 cm on vlad Click Here. Also fury looks a good couple of inches taller than Deontay in this photo which shows them both from above it's clear the top of furys head come a couple inches higher Click Here. I think wladimir 6'5.25", deontay 6'6.25-5", and Tyson fury 6'8" maybe a hair more or less.

Fury was only a tad shorter than Price if not even the same height as Price in the airport picture in 2014 when Fury was in better shape . It was only with the weigh gain in 2017 and his poor posture effected his height.
Fury posture is not very good so he is rarely standing straight.
Anything under 202cm is just too low.

@184guy2 - Did you see them at the weigh in and in the ring? Fury had more than an inch on Wilder. The question is whether Fury is a bit taller than he's listed or if Wilder is a bit shorter than he's listed. I do get it with Fury, thinking he's shorter than he really is. He drops height in photos a lot. But next to Wilder in the weigh in and in the ring, Fury is something like an inch and a half taller, rather than the same height as Wilder like some observers thought.

I really doubt that Fury has over 1 inch on Wilder...
He also was visible shorter than David Price
Didn't looked a full 2'' on Joe Joyce
He might be more 6'7-6'7.25 than 6'7.5 or over
He also looked shorter than WLAD (with lifts) on normal footwear

@Ellis: Christian made a good point. Even with camera advantage Melo could look taller. I would want a better pic of them where we can see them right next to each other and footwear. Either way I can’t see Wilder above 6’6” flat with him especially being Melo would not exceed 6’6” by more than maybe his pre draft measurement if even that high. Only other variable could be that one was up less time than the other. Melo looks around the height he is on his pre draft not only in person but in pictures. Look at him with Lebron or Kobe or a guy like Per Matsecker who is 6’6.25 as well. I think Fury needs a similar downgrade albeit not quite as much. I see 3cm between them 198 vs 201

If a 5'8" man can shrink almost 2cm throughout the day then I can believe around 6'9" for Fury straight out of bed, although later in the day below 6'8" looks more likely.

I gotta say it Tyson looked no less than 1.5 inches taller than Deontay today at the Presser. At times the full 2 inches. Maybe a slight footwear advantage but I really do not think he is less than 6,8 when standing straight. Might even be 6,8.25. I think if this holds up on Saturday at the fight Tyson is in need of an upgrade or Deontary is need of a downgrade to 6,5.5

Hopefully at the weigh in coming up, Wilder and Fury can have a barefoot stare down. And I hope Fury won't slouch or tip toe.
It will be interesting to see what they each weigh in at. I'm thinking Fury might weigh in about 251 and Wilder 30 lbs lighter or so.

When you have a low camera angle, it tends to make height differences look less (if distance from the camera is similar) and makes people closer to the camera look taller.

It is possible Wilder is in boxing shoes in the photo with Kelvin Price, he could be at a footwear disadvantage there. I would believe up to a two inch difference between Joe Joyce and Fury but I think it is slightly less than that. I am not sure how tall Joyce is yet but he looks about 3.5 inches taller than Haye.

I think Fury looked to have Joyce by at least a solid duece. It was hard to tell exactly due to Joyce's high hair, but Fury's eye line was mighty far above Joyce's. Even accounting for their subtle head tilts it seemed impossible to imagine a difference of less than 2" unless Joyce has an extremely tall forehead. I could see an argument for just over 2" or right around it.

Like I said, height difference between Fury and Wilder is 1in or less. No need to downgrade others if Fury is a flat 6'7. Joyce could be just 1.5in shorter in that great photo. And I never believed Wlad was 2in shorter. I would accept 6'5.5 for Wlad and 6'7 for Fury. However, I think Fury is 6'7.25.

The chance Wlad is 195cm is very small. He is clearly taller than Lennox Lewis and Tony Thompson who is near about that.
I cannot see Fury being under 202cm. The chance of Fury being 201cm is the same as him being 204cm.
202-203cm are the best guesses.

@Mickie, Tyson is closer to the camera in your video, and he has footwear advantage there. In my video Tyson looks indeed taller at some point, but on the other hand, shooted from other side, they look very close.

About Wilder, personally i think he is 200cm, but it's not impossible he is the same height as Carmelo Anthony. You never know. Here Wilder looking clearly shorter than 6'7 listed Kelvin Price Click Here
Im not saying Tyson and Wilder are the same height, they just look sometimes very close. It's obvious Tyson is the taller one, but i wouldn't be surprised if he's only 1cm taller. It's only 3 weeks now to the fight. Looking forward.

And then there is this video: Click Here
Look, I have no problem with Fury being a flat 6'7" in theory, as long as Wilder is changed to
6'6", Joe Joyce to 6'5", and Wladimir to 6'4.75". Fury is an inch taller than Wilder when standing well - even in the video Robbe just posted you can see Fury standing taller than Wilder before he sort of "sinks" down to close the height gap and be eye to eye.

@Abdi7 No he isn't tip toeing. If you go back a couple seconds in the video he was, but it's plainly obvious that he isn't at 9:21 - 9:22. They are flat footed and each standing their tallest

Wilder and Fury looks pretty much the same in this video. For once, they might be wearing boxing shoes both there?

Joyce's hair makes it hard to judge, but it looks like Tyson might have him by 5 or 6 cm. Larry Bird is obviously the taller guy, he's an actual 6'9" guy.

@Robbe: agreed. He’s an athlete though. A 6’9 claim is likely just for the programs

Interesting, Fury's eye line is a lot higher than Joyce, but the top of his head seems max 1.5 higher. Hard to be sure with all that hair Joyce has. This photo put's Fury in the 6'7 to 6'7.5 range, depending on how tall you think Joyce is.

@Lanky Brendan Schaub is 6'4". Problems in identifying height arise when people that are compared with are underestimated. As for Fury I think he knows alot about height and is 6'8 3/4" out for bed. He probably loses a minimum of an inch throughout the day, he may drop to 6'7 1/2". Wilder is a solid 6'7", same as Vitali.

@Canson, i have been wondering the same. If Tyson is really 6'9, like he claims, he should look like this with Joyce. Chris Mullin is pretty much the same height as Joe Joyce. Larry Bird is 6'9. Click Here

He almost certainly isn't a lift wearer, because if he had been, he wouldn't have allowed Wladimir to match his size. In the ring there was about 2 and change between them.

He's not 200 cm. He's more than that. Click Here
The debate isn't between 6'6" or 6'7" for Fury. It's whether he's closer to 6'7" or 6'8". He's visibly taller than Wilder is (in similar footwear) and some people even think he's 6'6.75" - 6'7" range.

Giving it another close look I don't think his front foot is raised in that Joe Joyce pic, but admittedly it's a hard to tell for sure.

One of the things that makes Tyson hard to estimate, I think more so than his tip toeing sometimes, is the fact that he often drops height in photos.

I think Tyson is tip toeing with both feet in that pic, just a bit more with the right foot. He looks close to his 6'9 claim in that shot, tip toeing of course. Great photo Mickie.

Hughie looked only slightly taller than 194cm listed Kubrat Pulev. Funny thing is, Pulev was dwarfed by Wlad :D Click Here
