Why does fury do that weird tip toe thing. It's not like he's short. Is it so that he always looks bigger than anyone else. He's a very tall guy but looks no taller than Wach. Klitschko said the same before their fight saying fury was not as tall as claimed. After his last fight fury was interviewed by a genuine 6'9" guy I believe and he was taller than fury.
Gman39 said on 31/Oct/18
It's very tough to tell height difference in a boxing ring, Wlad had a very wide stance in there with Fury. If I had to guess their height difference looking at them during the fight I'd have said 2 inches. And I think in reality they are 1.75 inches apart in height (6'5.5 and 6'7.25), in Fury's favor of course. Wlad is the same height as Joshua, for all intents and purposes, you can hardly split them.
Lanky said on 31/Oct/18
Hmm, here he is with 6’3” Brendan Schaub. What would we give him here?

Editor Rob
depends if he has lost near an inch more height...but hard to see him near 6ft 8 there
Mickie said on 31/Oct/18
Tyson does have an odd penchant for tip toeing. He even did it in the face off with Sefer who he towered over already. It strikes me more as clowning around, since it's in plain vision when you do that, rather than Wladimir who I think really is intending to get inside people's heads with stealthy lifts.
In this one photo with Joe Joyce, he goes on his toes on only one foot. You can't add nearly as much height that way as going up on both feet, but you can definitely stand slightly taller than flat footed. Joyce meanwhile has the advantage of high hair.

Hughie Fury is 6'5 on a good day. He is visible shorter than AJ. Tyson is at least 2in taller than Hughie. Wlad is really a tuff one, in the previous picture, without shirts, he looks only about an inch shorter than Tyson, but in the ring he looked almost 3in shorter. You never know if he's wearing lifts, or not. But he never tiptoes, credit to that. Once again, Tyson tiptoeing here

Gman39 said on 29/Oct/18
Reece, are you sure Wach is barefoot in the picture with Wlad? Sometimes the guy who goes first on the scale has enough time to get his shoes back on while the other guy does not. Idk just asking.
Reece said on 27/Oct/18
Pictures of him not standing well. And he stood better with Vitali when he was actually standing tall. Ustinov could be a weak 6 foot 7 that would make sense if he is giving a shoe height.
And Wlad was wearing dresser shoes vs Fury probably with a little lift.
Wlad and Wach were barefoot.
movieguy12 said on 27/Oct/18
Hughie Fury his cousin claims 6'6'' but I doubt this as well. I'd put 6'5'' possibly but no more. Hughie called out Wlad for wearing lifts at the Fury Klitschko weigh in and was probably right about this. However Hughie didn't look much taller than his opponent Pulev at the weigh in of their fight tonight once you take into account his hair. I wonder if these athletes have ever been properly measured minus footwear. Their given heights seem to be accurate if they are wearing boots or something.
Lanky said on 26/Oct/18
Again claimed 6’9” on
Joe Rogan’s Podcast this week. Said Wilder is 6’7”.
Mickie said on 26/Oct/18
I agree that Fury was taller than Ustinov. I don't know enough about Ustinov to peg an exact height, but he certainly appears not as tall as billed in that one Helenius picture.
Robbe said on 25/Oct/18
Btw, i have allways suspected Alexander Ustinov is not 6'7.5, he looked shorter than Tyson, and looks actually shorter than 6'6.5 Helenius

To me Wach looks taller than Fury compared to Wlad.

Wlad's eyeline hits at Fury's upper nose, and at Wach's lower nose. Both mens forehead is about the same size. Looks like Wach is a good 1cm taller than Fury, according to those pics.
Mickie said on 23/Oct/18
@Reece - I think you might be right about that. Fury probably would be the more likely to measure some mm taller but we're talking about 1 cm or less. They're almost identical.
Reece said on 22/Oct/18
I think Wach is a little shorter than Fury barefoot . He looked shorter next to Wlad than did Fury.
Mickie said on 20/Oct/18
Good find on the full body picture of Fury/Wach. Wach in trainers has a footwear advantage over Fury in boxing shoes. In equal footing you would expect Fury to be the same height as Wach or half a cm taller than Wach . I think they're both around 202 cm. Wach is just calls his barefoot height while Fury calls his height in trainers (and then rounds up a fraction)
Robbe said on 20/Oct/18

We just have to wait for the official weigh in Fury vs Wilder to see the real deal. In the latest events Tyson has been tiptoeing, with footwear advantage.
Gman39 said on 18/Oct/18
Loa take a good look at Fury with Wilder, there are tons of photos and video of them face to face now. Fury is likely in the 6'7 to 6'7.5 range, I think many of us agree on that. Also, I have always believed Klitschko is about 6'5.5. He got a bad wrap on here as a lift wearer, but that was before we all figured out Fury was much shorter than listed. He may have worn lifts at times but, in lieu of the Fury height revelation, many of the Fury-Klit photos make more sense now.
Lao said on 17/Oct/18
fury is much shorter and he needs a downgrade we all need to understand that there is no way he is a 6,7 max is a week 6”6
This is because klitschko says himself he is a 6”5 and in thoose pics it looks like 1/2 inch difference so fury is a week 6”6 and wilder is way taller than him I would say 6”7 for wilder
Mickie said on 16/Oct/18
Lol, Wladimir is a lift wearer though. In the ring, Tyson had him by 2 and change.
Robbe said on 16/Oct/18
These are perhaps the best pics to judge Wlad vs Tyson height difference. We cant see their footwear, but it's possible both men are wearing only socks there.

I think fury needs a major downgrade he is a week 6”6 he looks shorter than 6”6 joe Joyce who would be a strong 6”6. Wilder is way taller than fury
Wilder. 6”7 or strong 6”6
Fury. Week 6”6

Here is a picture of Fury and David Price (6'8)

He cannot be taller than 6'8.
What makes him appear to be taller is his arm length - 85" wingspan, which is longer than other HW's his size and also his posture (his shoulders are higher than other HW's his size).
Gman39 said on 14/Oct/18
I think this is pretty accurate. 6'5.5 and 6'7.25.

The only photo I ever saw where Fury and Wlad looked 2.25 inches apart was the one out in the grass/stadium where Wlad has a noticeably wider stance and is holding 50 lbs in championship belts lol.
Mickie said on 12/Oct/18
Yeah I think Fury has Wladimir by a more than 2", and has Wilder by a solid inch. Just like Rob has them listed.
Reece said on 12/Oct/18
Fury is no less than 2 inches taller than Wlad in my opinion maybe even a little more.
Canson said on 9/Oct/18
@Mickie: he may have actually been listed 6’9” at one point. I think this is too high tho and can agree that he’s closer to 6’7”. Maybe he’s 6’7.25. But Wilder Needs one as well. He isn’t any taller than Carmelo Anthony. I’m not sure about Klitschko. If it weren’t for him proclaiming that he measures 6’6 in the morning and 6’5 in the evening, I would probably have a hard time pegging him due to the others who are inflated around him. Wlad May genuinely be a solid 6’5 or 196cm at a low as opposed to 6’5.25 although I won’t argue 6’5.25 since he measures 6’6 out of bed
Wlad is a known lift wearer. So him being shorter than his listing wouldn’t surprise me one but.

Actually, I think Wlad needs an upgrade to 6'5.5. Wilder is 6'6.5 and Fury is 6'7.25 - as I see it right now anyway. I never bought into that there was a full 2 inches between Fury and Wlad, I think slightly less than 2 inches is the real difference.
Reece said on 9/Oct/18
Fury in my opinion is a inch taller than Wilder with a good chance of a inch and a half.
Mickie said on 9/Oct/18
Actually Christian, I believe he was listed at 6'8" first. Then 6'7" then 6'7.25" then 6'7.5".
If he's only 6'7" then Wilder and Wladimir near downgrades too.
Theorm181 said on 9/Oct/18
He edges out Wilder by a cm or two, maybe three, but no where near two inches, i’d Believe 202cm for Fury.
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 8/Oct/18
Fury was initially listed 6'7" when he was added here. There was no reason for Rob to upgrade him a half inch, IMO.
Rory said on 8/Oct/18
Often listed 6ft8.75 which I wonder if it's a shoe height and then 6ft7.75 barefoot. That'd explain the 6ft9 listings, just under it in shoes and then claims it.
Mickie said on 5/Oct/18
Both of their shoes look fairly low heeled and normal to me. Neither of their shoes look exceptionally low heeled. Personally at the moment I think there's a solid 2.5 to 3 cm between them, since all that I saw at these press conferences. I will admit there's a case for the difference being only 2 cm. I don't think anything less than that is believable after you see the staredown and also when you consider how Wilder himself calls Fury 6'9".
Robbe said on 4/Oct/18
Fury had surely shoe advantage there. Wilder's shoes were flat all the way, Tyson's shoes had seemingly visible heels.

Wilder (in sneakers) was also slightly taller Than Tyson in his boxing shoes. Im still not buying Fury being 1in taller than Wilder. Not until i see both men barefoot, face to face.
P.S. Fury's tiptoeing in staredowns is really annoying. Wish he could stand still. It would be much easier to judge their height difference.
Tongan7878 said on 3/Oct/18

@Robbe and others - you could see each of their footwear at the NY event in the bottom photos. Fury was wearing low cut loafers, they aren't big shoes!
Click Here
Robbe said on 3/Oct/18
Once again, Tyson has clearly bigger heels in his dress shoes than Wilder has in his flat shoes. The real height difference is not so big between these men. I wish Tyson could perform these events with flat shoes, like Wilder. But obviously he wants to look bigger than Wilder. So, waiting for the final weigh in..
Gman39 said on 3/Oct/18
In light of the NY presser, it seems there is most likely a 2cm (3/4) height advantage for Fury. Remember, we must take into account that Fury constantly tip-toes during face-offs and my have a slight footwear advantage on Wilder who seems to be wearing Vans type shoes. Also, one should draw their conclusions on the height difference based on watching as much video/pictures as possible. Right now, I say 6'6.5 for Wilder and 6'7.25 for Fury. My opinion may again change, I am looking forward to seeing them both in their socks at the weigh-in!
Robbe said on 3/Oct/18
Btw, Wilder seems to have higher eyelevel than Tyson, i noticed Tyson was looking up, and Wilder down, when they talked to each other

Fury has though bigger forehead, so they match up very close.
Robbe said on 3/Oct/18
I guess we'll have to waite for the final weigh in to see the real deal. Actually we haven't seen a single good photo/video of these men with equal footwear. Hopefully both men are in socks in the final staredown. Wlad vs Joshua weigh in was quite useless, cause Wlad wore sneakers, and Joshua only socks. Wlad was noticeable taller there, obviously.
Canson said on 2/Oct/18
@Christian: Tyson may be a full 6’7” but surely not 6’9. 6’7.5 is too tall imho but maybe a solid 6’7. Wilder may be 6’6.25

Editor Rob
Assuming same footwear there could be 3cm between them, arguably Tyson nearer 6ft 8 if Wilder is 6ft 6.5.

@Christian: Wilder could be as low as 6’6 but prob not under. Melo looked taller but had camera angle. I know they said 6’6.5 but not sure what time of the day Wildee was measured. My guess is he and Melo are similar. Maybe 6’6.25 or 6’6-6’6.25 range

Todays press conference height comparison gold at 1:01.00 of the video. Less than 1 inch height difference. Looks to my honest eyes like 1-2cm in Fury's favor. Still, when I freeze the frame at times during this long face off, they look equal in height...

omz said on 2/Oct/18
Wilder is taller than fury and it’s pretty clear
In 2016 when they met in the ring wilder was wearing boxing shoes which were flat and fury wasn’t and fury was taller by a bit but it was pretty similar. In 2018 when they met in the ring fury was wearing flat shoes and wilder wasn’t and wilde looked way taller so logically wilder is taller . And In the 2 press conferences both of them are not wearing boxing shoes and we still see wilder looking taller and fury shorter. We see fury is annoyed so that’s why he stands on his tip toes.
Wilder: 6”7
Fury: strong 6”6
Or
Wilder 6”7.5
Fury: 6”7
No way fury is 6”9 and no way wilder is shorter than him
Robbe said on 2/Oct/18
@Mickie, no, they are very close in heights, just check this video, at 8:00 when Wilder steps on stage. You can barely see the difference when they are side by side. Check also 29.00 and onwards. Its very hard to see which one is taller. Dont forget Fury wears dress shoes, Wilder flat shoes.

@ Gman - No. It is obvious Fury is roughly an inch taller. At times they can appear about the same height and other times Fury could appear around 2 inches taller. The real difference is about an inch in Fury's favor. I think any honest observer has to see that.

It's completely over, the idea that Fury and Wilder are the same height. You'd have to straight up be in denial to think that now. Fury is roughly an inch taller. Sometimes the difference looks less than that and sometimes more, but in equal footwear and comparable posture it's somewhere between 2 and 3 cm.
Canson said on 1/Oct/18
@184guy: I agree. Wilder was measured 6’6.5 but not sure what time of the day. He looked similar with Melo taking camera into account
Lanky said on 1/Oct/18
I can’t think of another person whose height is more difficult to accurately nail down. Initially I thought he was a weak 6’8”, then after the stairdown with Wilder in Fury’s last fight, I started to think maybe Fury is basically a flat 6’7”, now after the press conference I’m back to thinking he’s closer to 6’8” than 6’7”.

So, Tyson was measured 6'7 as amateur. Big question is, has he gained height after that. If Wilder is as listed, looks that Tyson is still the same, 6'7. If you look at the video i posted, Wilder actually looks a bit taller than Tyson, before Tyson starts to "kiss" him. Both men standing relaxed here.

Anyway, my guess now:
Fury 201cm
Wilder 200cm
joshjeffords said on 26/Aug/18
Seems as listed has slight edge on deontay in stare down with footwear disad.
6 9 seems laughable id say if anything knock half an inch off both.
Boxers wear shoes and like bballers they measure with them on and often bs it altogether.
The important question is who is the best heavy weight furthermore why not fight joshua first?
Mickie said on 25/Aug/18
Fury was a little taller than Alexander Ustinov (202 cm listed) and a little shorter than David Price (has claimed 6'8" but usually claims 6'9"). Wladimir who called him out on his height claim thought he was about the same height as Wach (who is reportedly 202 cm) other boxers have believed his 6'9" claim (Steve Cunningham claimed he was 6'3" and Fury was 6'9"). I think if Fury was significantly than 202 cm Wladimir would've said so and guys like Steve Cunningham wouldn't have believed the 6'9". I think the 6'8.75" listing he's had recently is his height in shoes. But the stare down with Wilder at a footwear disadvantages makes over 202 cm seem impossible (unless Wilder was pulling a Klitschko, which I wouldn't think probable) thus I think Rob actually has him listed perfectly.
Mickie said on 24/Aug/18
I think the one with Wilder wasn't so much to look taller as to go in for the mock kiss lol. If Tyson was truly height obsessed I don't think he'd stand with such poor posture, but he does pull the tip toe move during face offs at times.
Reece said on 24/Aug/18
It is normal for tall men to tip toe at times.
Wlad could wear lifts to make him look more physically imposing.
Fury is minimum 6-7.5 in my opinion.
movieguy12 said on 22/Aug/18
Why would Wlad wear lifts? I don't know why a man that size wears lifts. However I think it's pretty certain he does on occasion. The most famous example is the Fury Wlad weigh in where Wlad edged out Fury in the stare off. I don't buy Fury as 6'9'' but he's no shorter than 6'7'' minimum and taller than Wlad for certain. The Fury camp also reckon the scales were fixed so that Fury's weight was less than it should be. I'm not sure about this though. Chuck Wepner the 'Real Rocky' claims Wlad is 6'4'' although I don't know if this is the case. Wlad is a big man but mind games were part of his act.
Mickie said on 21/Aug/18
@Viper - Wlad wears lifts to appear taller in faceoffs against opponents, he probably perceived it as a psychological advantage of some sort. That's why he appeared even in height with Fury at the weigh in but looked 6 to 7 cm shorter in the ring. Also why Wladimir at times made David Haye look like he was struggling with 6-0 when he's obviously more 6-1 to 6-2 range.
viper said on 20/Aug/18
Why would Wladimir wear lifts
Robbe said on 20/Aug/18
@Mickie, Wilder is not standing prperly in that picture you posted. He is leaning forward on Tyson, and loosing height there. Difference was not so big in reality. Secondly, Wilder was wearing flat trainers in the newest staredown. They were eye to eye. That would mean Tyson is only about 1cm taller than Wilder. But like you said, we'll see the true difference in the weigh in.
About Wlad, it's true you never know if he's wearing lift's or not. He looks huge with Pianeta in deed. Very possible he has boosted his shoes once again there.
tim181 said on 20/Aug/18
Deontay didn't even wear very thick sneakers
Click Here at 4:25
So I reckon Fury with equal shoes is 0.5in taller.

Wilder was TALLER than Fury in ring tonight. Wild likely with a footwear advantage but Fury is NOT 6'9 that is for sure.

Some of the estimates here are really ridiculous, 6'6 ? Really ??
This guy is gigantic, please look at his pics next to real 6'4.5 Rico Verhoeven or even next to Wlad..
What would a 6'6 or 6'7 Fury make Wlad ? 6'4 ? What an utter joke..
Open your eyes people, he has an awful posture in most shots, and almost never stand straight but when he does he looks really tall ( 6'8 range imo )..
He had 2.5 to 3 inches on Wlad on several pics when they were standing straight next to eachother and that's what he looked in boxing shoes in the ring..

Dillian Whyte is not 6'3.5 range, he is around 6'2, maybe 6'2.5. Hughie Fury is 6'5. He was 2in taller than 6'3 Parker at their staredown. Lucas Browne is around 6'3.5. Tyson Fury is shorter than David Price who is 6'8.
Gman39 said on 2/Aug/18
Miko I believe the consensus on here is that Parker is 6'3 and Whyte is a cm or 2 under that. I think that would make Browne closer to 6'4 flat.
Reece said on 31/Jul/18
No rule actually says that you have to give your height at a low. He might be close 6 foot 9 or 6 foot 9 fresh out of bed and defo in shoes. That could be where the claim comes from. I find under 202cm hard to believe. That would make Hughie Fury sub 6 foot 5 and Wlad sub 6 foot 5 if Fury is 6 foot 7 flat.
movieguy12 said on 30/Jul/18
Looks massive at times. There is a picture of him with Ricky Hatton and he looks gigantic. David Price does look taller in photos together although Price is given as 6'8'' and Fury 6'9''. Has Fury ever been measured properly or is the 6'9'' an estimate?
miko said on 30/Jul/18
Rob have you considered adding the Australian Boxer Lucas Browne? He's had 6'4 and 6'5 bills.
I personally think he's smack bang in the middle at 6'4.5. He was about an inch taller and stacked up a little better than Joseph Parker did to Dillian Whyte who himself is 6'3.5 range.
depressed schizophrenic said on 29/Jul/18
ROB what would you say makes a massive strong 6'7 guy feel the need to inflate his height ?
Editor Rob
Maybe he was measured 6ft 9 in footwear...it's not entirely impossible, but barefoot I can't see it. People who are tall can still inflate, to seem even more impressive to people.
Mickie said on 27/Jul/18
He can look 6'6" range when dropping height at times. Other times he can look 6'8"-ish when standing well. Rarely looks like a guy who would measure 6'9" barefoot in the evening though - the few times he has it's only been next to people who may have had their heights over billed (Seferi, Lucas Browne, etc).
miko said on 22/Jul/18
Fury is a weird one, he can look anywhere from a weak 6'6 to a very solid 6'7.5 at times.
It's clear as day though that he's never been anywhere near 6'9 unless he measured on his tiptoes.
Canson said on 10/Jul/18
6’9” is a shoe claim. He’d be 6’8 or maybe 6’8.25 out of bed and about 6’7.25 a low. He can probably lose a full inch
Mickie said on 5/Jul/18
It wouldn't be surprising if Fury was a guy who did shrink as much as 3 cm in a day. With his build, I'd figure he'd shrink an inch at least.

The Wach and Fury pictures seem inconclusive to me. They have different postures in this photo and we can't see their footware. Their shoulders looked the same height. All you can take from it imo is that they are quite close in height. Wach may be slightly taller in the picture, but it's not overly convincing that he'd actually measure any taller.
Reece said on 24/Jun/18
I think he is still 202cm at least even at night before bed. Him waking up at 204cm or a little above and dropping to 202cm. I don’t trust anything less.
In my opinion Wach does look a little taller than Gary in that picture you poster.
The only way I see him dropping below is after a heavy heavy training session late on in the night.
Robbe said on 23/Jun/18
I know Wach has hair but he doesn't have square shaped head lol. In the pic he is about 2cm taller than Tyson
Click Here
Also, don't let the eyelines fool you, Wach is tilting his head down, while Tyson is slightly bending his head back. That's why Tyson's eyeline is higher. Wach has also bigger head than Tyson. But then again, it's just a photo among other's, and it's true Wach is a bit closer to the camera. It's also debatable if Wach is really 202cm. He does't look taller than 200cm Gary Cornish
Click Here
Tyson is for sure taller than 202,5cm out of bed. He shrinks easily a good inch during the day. I would say he is 204cm out of bed, and 201cm at lowest. Im 187cm out of bed, and 185cm late in the evening. Tyson shrinks for sure more than i do during the day.
Reece said on 20/Jun/18
Fury looks similar he does not have hair and has worse posture yet he looks so similar in that picture. Fury bigger next to Wlad when standing better with good posture.
And Kiwi Bloke why Fury so low. The chances of him waking up at less than 6 foot 8 are next to nothing. I would be confident he would still be at least over 6 foot 7 late on.
Kiwi Bloke said on 19/Jun/18
He looks level if not taller than Wach in that photo IMO, when taking into account Wachs hair and Tyson being slightly further away from the camera favors Wach.
I can see like 202.5cm / 6'7.75 max for Tyson fresh out of bed, and 200.5 6'7 flat at a low
Reece said on 17/Jun/18
What are the chances of Fury waking up at 205-206cm hence the 6 foot 9 claim?
Tinny said on 16/Jun/18
How would Fury measure up head-to-head with big
Hafthor Bjornsson?
Editor Rob
Put
Hafthor in the boxing ring with the current version of Fury and it would be over in 30 seconds...although height wise I'm sure it would be very close.
Micky said on 11/Jun/18
I wouldn't bet on Fury measuring any shorter than Wach if you were to put them under a stadiometer. They do look really similar there (Fury's eyes, chin, shoulders etc are slightly higher, the top of his head slightly shorter, posture and footwear non conclusive.) Fury doesn't stand well often as a general rule.
If Seferi is anywhere near his billed height Tyson needs a BIG upgrade lol. I have trouble buying he's 6'2.5" barefoot.
Robbe said on 11/Jun/18
Tyson looks slightly shorter then 202cm listed Wach.
Click Here
Wonder how tall Seferi really is? Looked like 20cm shorter than Tyson.
Click Here
Reece said on 10/Jun/18
At that height you do tower over anybody in the 6 foot 2 range.When he stands well i do not think he would be under 202 even at the evening after a normal day.
Micky said on 9/Jun/18
Very interesting... He was listed at 6' 8 3/4" in his most recent fight. His opponent was listed at 6' 2 1/2", and Tyson really did appear to tower him.
Lanky said on 9/Jun/18
Was listed at 6’8 3/4” in his comeback fight tonight. Thought it was worth noting because it’s the first time I’ve seen him billed as anything other than 6’9” in his pro career.
Jid Lid said on 23/May/18
Looked about an inch taller than Wilder to me
Reece said on 5/May/18
Wladimir could even be 6’6.5 in the morning that is a possibility. I think Fury at least 6’8.5 but possibly even 6’9 straight out of bed.
Micky said on 3/May/18
Fury would measure about 6'8.5" in the morning and about 6'7.5" at night. Wladimir would measure about 6'6" in the morning and about 6'5" at night. Fury can look shorter than he is at times, particularly in photos, due to poor posture habits (in addition to not having military posture naturally, he tends to especially shorten himself when taking photos with smaller guys) and Wladimir can look taller at times due to being a lift wearer. But when Fury stands well and Wladimir doesn't have lifts in, the difference is 2.5 inches. The ironic thing is that the guy who is more honest with his height claims in this case - is the lift wearer!
Kris said on 29/Apr/18
Guys. Check out David Price Instagram. He is 2.05 and has a picture with Tyson Fury and he is a fair bit taller!
Also, I have met Dillian Whyte and I was 4-5cm taller. I am 1.94.
Reece said on 12/Apr/18
That picture shows Fury height well. He is a slight footwear disadvantage probably 0.25 of a inch. Those pictures show Fury cannot be less than 6-7.5 and possibly in the 6 foot 8 range.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 11/Apr/18
I reckon he could scrape 6ft9 first thing, like 204.5-205cm
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 11/Apr/18
I see about 3in between Wlad and Tyson in that photo.
Reece said on 11/Apr/18
Gman. Well said. I agree. He can really look 197cm a lot.
Gman said on 7/Apr/18
Wlad is 6-5 1/2. My father was 6-2 1/2 and he ALWAYS said, "Six-Two" when asked. In rare cases men do round down. I do believe Wlad wore boosters in his shoes at many press conferences (most notably with Fury) but never in a boxing ring or workout.
Reece said on 30/Mar/18
@Cason. Do not see what is wrong in thinking Wlad could be 6-5 1/2 and the rare case a athlete rounds down his height. I do actually think he is. He can look it even in the ring and in barefoot pictures.
Canson said on 15/Mar/18
@Robbe: good find and that just reinforces that Wlad is 6’5” like he says (not any taller like Reece wants him to be). The notion that people downplay their height (especially athletes) is silly. Downplay by the way means someone who is 6’6” or over saying they are 6’5 which is not the case for Wlad. Even if Wlad were 6’5.5 there’s no obligation on his part to say he’s 6’5.5 or 6’6 he could just claim 6’5” since he fits in to the range. But I believe 6’5 flat up to 6’5.25
Robbe said on 15/Mar/18
@Micky, that link has been posted here many times before. But anyway, it just proves Wlad can't be 6'6". We all know if your eyelevel reaches somebodys mouth, it means 7cm difference. Wlad has even footwear advantage here, he is wearing dress shoes, while Tyson wears flat sneakers. Do the math yourself folks.
Click Here
Wlad is easily 6-7cm shorter than Fury. Means he is 195-196cm. I can live 202cm for Fury. But i wont rule out 201cm for him. Its also debatable if Wach is really 6'7.5. Just because he is listed that height, doesn't mean he really is. Just to mention Dominic Breazeale, he is billed at 6'7, but he is moore like 6'6.5, at the most. Tyson is listed at 6'9", which is not true either. Not to mention Lucas Browne's ridiculous 6'5 listing :D
Robbe said on 15/Mar/18
Hughie Fury with the same russian 188cm boxer. That's the real difference between 6'5 and 6'2 guys.
Click Here
So its plain obvious Browne is nowhere near 6'5". Struggles to look even 6'4 in my opinion.
Micky said on 14/Mar/18
For what it's worth - Wladimir agrees with Rob on Fury at 6'7.5"
Click Here
Robbe said on 14/Mar/18
Eddie has no moore than 1cm advantage in his dress shoes. He is slouching in this pic, and is yet taller than Browne, who is half a meter closer to the camera
Click Here
Browne with 188cm russian boxer. I dont see 2in difference, its moore like 1in
Click Here
Whyte was moore than 8cm shorter than Helenius, so he is clearly under 191cm. Browne 191-192cm.
Reece said on 13/Mar/18
Browne is probably not the full 6 foot 5 but he is defo taller than Dillian Whyte. Dillian Whyte is more like 6 foot 3 than 6 foot 2 1/2. Browne is probably 6 foot 4.
1. Hearn wears thick dresser shoes
2. Browne has no hair and Whyte has a hat on yet he is still shorter
Browne could be 6 foot 4 range and Tyson Fury has poor posture he should be at least 6-7 1/2
Micky said on 13/Mar/18
Lucas Browne has been described as high as 199 cm in the past (although he obviously isn't that tall):
Click Here
It's tough to say from just that photo of Lucas and Tyson, but I'd say it looks a minimum of 3.5" difference, and I can definitely see an argument that it's more like 4". Either way, Lucas is likely over listed, especially if Tyson is 202 cm as per celebheights.
Robbe said on 12/Mar/18
Eddie Hearn is around 193cm and Lucas Browne looks shorter than Eddie
Click Here
Dillian Whyte looked at least 10cm shorter than Helenius, so Whyte may be just 189cm. That would mean Browne is no moore than 190-191cm. 6'5 claim is just absurd.
Robbe said on 11/Mar/18
Lucas Browne is nowhere near 6'5. Just look at him with Dillian Whyte, they are about the same height. Browne maybe slightly taller. You may also check out Whyte with 6'6.5 Helenius. Whyte is about 4in shorter. So Browne is max 6'3.5". That would make Tyson 6'7".
Micky said on 10/Mar/18
You can see him here barefoot in the second picture down next to 6'5" listed Lucas Browne:
Click Here
I think Tyson looks at least 3.5" taller than Lucas there. Maybe Lucas is really more 6'4" range? Either way, Tyson looks substantially taller in the barefoot photo.

Canson said on 8/Mar/18
He doesn’t have a large head for 6’7” range
Reece said on 5/Mar/18
@Jason193.
I agree. Fury actually said in the build up to the Haye Fight which never happened he was 6 foot 9 205cm. When 206cm is actually 6 foot 9. He could have rounded up his morning height. I would be surprised if he was less than 202cm at night on a normal day.
Canson said on 4/Mar/18
@Jason: 6’7” range is the most likely as he is not under 6’7” but doubt as high as 6’8” either. I think he can be 6’8 out of bed very easily but dips to maybe 6’7.25 at night. I think a strong 6’7” fits him as he would be almost 6’9” in shoes for part of the day
Jason 193cm said on 4/Mar/18
@Even I think it's more like:
6'9 impossible, 6'8 (30%) 202cm (69%) 6'7 flat (1%) under 6'7 impossible. I'm guessing he wakes up at 205cm or maybe even 6'9, and loses a full 3cm to hit 202-203cm at night.
even said on 27/Feb/18
Tyson fury's height :
over 6'9" = impossible ( 0 % ) , 6'8" = the most likely ( 90 % ) , 6'7" = extremely unlikely ( less than 1 % ) , under 2 meters = impossible ( 0 % ) .
I believe that Tyson fury is 6 feet 8 inches tall .
As of 2/28/2018 Tyson fury could have tipped the scale at 400 pounds .
Sandy Cowell said on 27/Feb/18
@ UninvitedGuest - Tee hee! I like the name!
Well, to look at the picture here, I would never have guessed he was such a big basket!
He gets 6ft7.5 and should thank his lucky stars! I'd have said 3" lower...
Reece said on 26/Feb/18
Also I couldn't see nothing in your picture
Reece said on 26/Feb/18
@harrysachs.
Do you not know Fury has poor posture? He can't be 6-6.5 if that's what you are trying to imply. Doesn't mean he is adding 7cm to his height. Fury weight gain seems to have made his posture worse. Anything under 202cm is not believable in anyway.
harrysachs said on 25/Feb/18
Click Here David Price is actually 6'8 so Tyson Fury can't be 6'7. He looks more than 1 inch shorter than Price.
UninvitedGuest said on 24/Feb/18
Savio, stop wasting your own time. It is well known that Wladimir Klitschko was wearing lifts in the pre-fight build up. He was dwarfed inside the ring. He has done all of these tricks before.
Reece said on 17/Feb/18
Robert and Wlad is Wlad bending his knee. Vitali looks way shorter next to Wlad than Robert. Vitali could be 6-6 1/2 but no less. I think he is possibly even 6 foot 7. I still think at least 202cm if not a little higher.
Canson said on 16/Feb/18
@Robbe:I think 201 is appropriate for him. Rob (if memory serves me correctly) had Fury 6’7.25 before. A 6’7” flat guy can be 6’9 in shoes in the morning very easily as well.
Robbe said on 14/Feb/18
Vitali doesnt look taller than Helenius standing next to Wlad, so 199cm is possible for Vitali. Ustinov looks very close to Vitali. Tyson is slightly taller than these men, so we cant rule out 201cm for him.
Reece said on 12/Feb/18
The original pic is Fury bad posture. His posture has always been bad while Price is much better. 201cm or less is not realistic for a Fury. That would mean Wlad is sub 6 foot 5. Ustinov is 6 foot 6 and Vitali is 6 foot 6 or less. Under 6-7.5 202cm is not believable. No proof of Fury being loser to the Camara than Price. The airport picture is the best proof Fury can’t be under 202cm. The chance he 201cm is probably as him being the 205-206cm he is listed at.
5'11" Flat Barefoot Evening said on 11/Feb/18
@ Kiwi Lad great photo of Fury with Price. Price does look a legit 6'8" as per his official billing and Fury looks 6'6"- 6'6.5"
Robbe said on 11/Feb/18
Ok, we have now seen 3 pics Price vs Fury, and Price is always the taller one. In this newest pic Tyson's legs are maybe slightly bended, but he is closer to the camera, and Price is not standing tall either, he is leaning on Tyson, and his leg is spreaded. But anyway, he is cleary taller than Fury, no doubt about it.
Click Here
In the pic at the airport, Tyson is closer to the camera, so the real difference may very well be 2-3cm. Im not so sure any moore if Tyson is no moore than the original listing was, 201cm. The third pic we have seen, where Price edged Fury out by 3in, was of course due to bad camera angle.
kiwi Lad said on 8/Feb/18
@ Reece. TBH, their posture actually looks similar, if not favor to wilder. Melo definitely looks like he could straighten out a tad more. And taking into account Melo is closer to the camera, if Wilder was to edge forward slightly to melo's level, I could still still see melo edging.
Now.. if David price is 203, fury doesn't look 202 here -
Click Here - maybe 200 tops
Click Here - in this one, there looks to be a slightly less difference, but taking into account David further away from the camera, a 2-3cm difference is possible.
200-201cm is possible for Fury
Reece said on 7/Feb/18
Wilder is a disadvantage because Carmelo is standing with better posture and is closer to the Camara. I don’t think Wilder is under 6-6.5....
Fury has to be at least 202cm. Nothing less. He is only a tad shorter than Price who could never be under 203cm. If he really is 200cm then Wlad is probably 193-194cm cm and it makes Ustinov and Vitali under 6 foot 6 and that’s isnt possible. Below 202cm with the evidence we have seen is not believable
Kiwi lad said on 4/Feb/18
hypothetically ...
Click Here - 6'6.25 / 198.5cm Carmelo edges Wilder, lets say by 1cm.. making wilder 6'5.75 / 197.5cm
Click Here
Click Here
Fury could then in theory be 199.5 - 200.5cm / 6'6.5 - 6'6.9cm (looks a good 2-3cm taller then deontay)
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 3/Feb/18
I think if he is 6ft8 (or close to it) then 6ft9 straight out is achievable
Reece said on 3/Feb/18
Anywhere between 6-7.5 and 6-8.5 more like. 6-6.5 is too low. I would go in the middle of 202cm and 204cm and personally say he is 203cm. Although 202cm is more likely than 204cm.
Kiwi Lad said on 3/Feb/18
Could be anywhere between 6'6.5 - 6.8'5
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Jan/18
Rob, what's the likelihood he'd measure 6ft9 out of bed?
Editor Rob
Considering some people genuinely can shrink 1.5 inches, it's not exactly improbable...and if you have your own Fury estimate closer to 6ft 8, then it would be more likely.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Jan/18
Boxers typically add at least an inch to their heights if not more. While I can see 6ft8 as a possibility, I don't know why this guy feels the need to up that to 6ft9
even said on 25/Jan/18
Tyson fury's height : 6'8"
Dingus said on 6/Jan/18
He is somewhere between 6'7.25" and 6'08.00".
Reece said on 6/Jan/18
Wlad could pull of looking 197cm easily even without lifts. But he wore boosters in the Fury conferences. 200cm is 100 percent to low imo. 202cm is the lowest he could be in my eyes.
Savio said on 5/Jan/18
Either Wladimir Klitschko needs an upgrade or Tyson Fury needs a downgrade.
They look dead even here:
Click Here
Fury looks 2-3 cm taller here:
Click Here
Fury looks 3-4 cm taller here (could be due to them standing on grass surface):

Of course if Wladimir is using lifts (in his sneakers) then my approximations are off completely, otherwise I'd say Fury is 200 cm tall.
Scott said on 2/Jan/18
Reece - think you are right.
Judging by this photo of Hughie with 6'4 1/2 Fellaini and 6'3 Lukaku I think Hughie might well be 6'5 1/2?
Click Here
Reece said on 2/Jan/18
I reckon Hughie is at least 6 foot 5 maybe a little more he may not be standing his best in that pic with Joyce. I thought Joshua looked taller than Joyce in some pictures.6 foot 6 or 7 is most likely too much. He is quite substantially shorter than Tyson Fury who is at least 6-7.5
Canson said on 1/Jan/18
I think 6’7-6’7.5 range is better for him than 6’7.5-6’8 let alone 6’8 or 6’9.
Scott said on 30/Dec/17
Rob - what height do you think Hughie Fury is?
Thought he was a solid 6'5+ when I met him.
He looks 1/2cm shorter than Joe Joyce.

But Joyce always seems 1-2cm taller than Joshua.
All 3 listed 6'6
Editor Rob
Hughie seems to think he could have been 6ft 7, claimed both 6ft 6 and 7!

Fury 203cm
Ustinov 201cm
Vitali 201cm
Wilder 199.5cm
Joshua 197cm or a little higher
Wladimir 197cm
Hughie Fury 196cm
Lennox Lewis 194-195cm
Joseph Parker 191cm
Tony Bellew 190cm maybe bit less
David Haye 6-1.5 or a little higher.
Jordan87 said on 21/Dec/17
Scott,
He is not 6'9. Boxers are rarely what they Report or are listed at. Wilder is listed at 6'6.5 and you think Fury has him by 2.5"?
Fury is a big SOB and does have Boxing Skill I will give you that. No Need to add extra BS Inches to him though. And he would knock you and Me into Next week whether he is 6'7 or 6'9, keep that in mind.
Aswin MK said on 19/Dec/17
Hi Rob, I have seen several clips of Tyson Fury, saw photos of him and Wilder (Who by the way is 6 foot 6.5 minimum). I can only conclude that there is no way that Tyson Fury is any less tall than 6 foot 8 inches. We need a definite upgrade for Fury as he has looked a solid 6 foot 8+ in almost every photo and video I've seen. I would wait for others to pitch in with their estimate.
Editor Rob
well I have seen a fair bit and I can see how 6ft 7.5 is probably a fair mark to go with for him...I didn't see enough to think the 6ft 8 (let alone 9) was possible.
EM said on 17/Dec/17
Rob met Danny Dyer and had him at 5'11.5". So Tyson looks more 6'8" range than 6'9" there, but still definitely looks higher than 6'7".
Reece said on 17/Dec/17
@Full 6-9 during the day is to much. He isn't 4 inches taller than Wlad who claims 6 foot 5 but I think Wlad is at least 6-5 1/2 he looks taller than 6-5 footers always in the ring by enough a margin even if they are 6-4 1/2 or 6-4 some of them he still is clearly the taller man. I think Rob has him a bit to low. 6 foot 8 seems more reasonable than 6 foot 9.
Scott said on 16/Dec/17

If you had a gun to your head you'd say from this fight between them both, that Fury was marginally taller?
But as both claim 6'9, who would argue with them!
Reece said on 13/Dec/17
@Kiwi Bloke. I find that very hard to believe. I don't think he can be any less than 202cm. He is half a inch no more than Price who claims 6-9. 6-10 according to AJ I heard probably a overestimate as AJ did call Wlad 6 foot 7. That is assuming Price is 203cm he can look a little taller at times. You could be right though.
Kiwi Bloke said on 13/Dec/17
I can see Fury around a flat 6'7 at his lowest. Can see him waking up around 6'8

Out of bed 203-204
Before bed 201-202
EM said on 10/Dec/17
I could see now perhaps him being 6-8.5 in the morning and 6-7.5 at night. It would mean Alexander Ustinov was shorter than his billed height as well, but it could be the case.
Reece said on 7/Dec/17
They looked very similar in the airport picture. Price looks a whisker taller but it is hardly noticeable. Tyson Fury is no less than 6-7.5 202cm even later on in the day when humans lose height.

Anonymous said on 7/Dec/17
@ EM
Agreed, we cant see the ground, which is key. Price may have the footwear advantage.
Agreed also that his weight gain hasn't made him shrink as such, but its making him hover around his absolute low more so perhaps.
To me Price is the taller man. 6'8.25 for price and 6'7.25-6'7.5 for Fury (roughly)
EM said on 7/Dec/17
He does look much shorter in the newer photo with Price. We can't see the ground or footwear. I doubt Fury's weight has made him actually shrink, but even when he was fit he doesn't stand tall very often and his weight might make him slouch even more. In their fight as amateurs, they looked the same height.
Kiwi Bloke said on 4/Dec/17
Fury looking noticeably shorter than David Price here in this picture, possibly an inch and a half difference:

Looks like Fury's weight gain has made his spine compress and loose some height perhaps? earlier picture with price, in what looked to be an airport, fury only looked about half an inch shorter.( either that or their is a major footware difference in this latest pic
boby2000 said on 3/Dec/17
price is taller then fury. Fury is 6.7 not 6.9
EM said on 26/Nov/17
If anything, I think Fury should be upgraded to at least 202 cm. When he's standing well he really never looks less than that, and can really even look a cm or 2 more!
EM said on 25/Nov/17
Joseph Parker is about 13 - 14 cm less than Tyson Fury. He's safely below Fury's eye line despite standing with better posture than Tyson:
Click Here
For Parker to be 193 cm is reported at, Tyson Fury would HAVE to be the 6'9" he claims. If not a little more
Robbe said on 22/Nov/17
Lol, Google itself lists Dwayne Johnson at 196cm. Just because he has claimed that height at some point. We all know Rock is nowhere near 196cm. So i would't pay so much tension on what Google "itself" lists. Price must have been measured officially 203cm, that's why he is listed that height in every site.
My own "list"
David Price, 203cm
Tyson Fury, 202cm
Vitali Klitscko, 200cm
Alexander Ustinov, 200cm
Mariuz Wach, 200cm
Dominic Breazeale, 199,5cm
Robert Helenius, 199,5cm
Deontay Wilder, 199,5cm
Anthony Joshua, 197,5cm
Audley Harrison, 197cm
Tony Thompson 196cm
Wladimir Klitshko 196cm
Hughie Fury 195cm
Joseph Parker is heavily overlisted, he is nowhere near 193cm. He appears roughly the same height as Tony Bellew and David Haye. They are all under 190cm.
Editor Rob
earlier in his career Price did say he was 6ft 8 and 18 stone, then added an inch and also claimed 6ft 9.
EM said on 21/Nov/17
Google itself lists Price at 6'9". I'm not sure where they pulled it from, but that's what they do, generally they source their heights from other sites. He does get called 6'8" more often than the 6'9" he personally claims. It seems that you take it for granted that Price is definitely a flat 6'8", if you are right I'd place Fury in the 6'7.5" - 6'7.75" range. Personally I'm not as sure if Price is definitely just 203 cm. I think he could reasonably be anywhere in the 203 - 205 cm range. Tyson Fury, 1 cm less.
EM said on 20/Nov/17
@Robbe - Well a simple search on a popular search engine lists Price at 6'9" - so it's obviously out there as a height listing for him somewhere. Whether he really measures closer to 6'8" or the 6'9" he claims is another story. I agree that it stands to reason that Price would be approximately 1 cm taller than Fury. They really are very close to the same height, although Price is likely a fraction higher.
If Price is 6'9" than I'd expect Fury to measure at least 6'8.5". If Price really is only 6'8" flat, than 6'7.5" - 6'7.75" range would stand to reason for Tyson Fury. If that were the case, I'd think Ustinov's reported 6'7.5" height might be slightly optimistic, because while he is closer to Fury's height than Deontay Wilder is, he is still shorter than Fury.
Robbe said on 20/Nov/17
@EM, Price listed at 6'8" sometimes? He is listed 6'8" in every site i have seen, and there are many sites available in the net. I tried to search 6'9 listings for him, but i couldn't find a single one. I know he claims himself 6'9, but its most likely his morning height. Fury claims also 6'9 but its not true either. Both might be close to 6'9 in the morning, but that's another story.
I have posted pictures Price vs. Harrison/Thompson/Joshua and Price looks always no moore than 203cm. Fury looks shorter than Price in that picture in the airport, but its hard to say how much shorter he is. Price is not standing straight there, and Fury is a bit closer to the camera. Anyway, its quite a safe bet to say Price edges Fury out at least by 1cm. 202cm 203cm.

I've seen another picture with a different camera angle of Ustinov and Vitali where Utstinov looked a bit taller than Vitali... I didn't know Vitali had ever claimed 6'6". That's interesting, I took it for granted that he was a text book 6'7". In any event, If Fury really was to be 201 or 202 cm, Ustinov would have to be less, because even while seeming to drop some height Fury seems to edge him out. Of course, Fury also held up pretty well with David Price:
Click Here but then again, people can debate David Price's height. They look very close, perhaps Price being fractionally taller. Price himself claims 6'9" but he's listed at 6'8" sometimes.
Robbe said on 19/Nov/17
Problem is we dont know if Ustinov is really 202cm. He doesn't look so tall to me.

Vitali has claimed both 6'6 and 6'7, so he might be a strong 6'6. After seing all these pics, Ustinov looks around 198-200cm.
EM said on 18/Nov/17
Fury looks a whisker taller of the two, but it also looks like he could be dropping significant height:

The Exorcist said on 16/Nov/17
He looked about 2" taller than Wlad in the ring. So if Wlad gets a 6'5.25" listing, I'd say it's pretty fair for Rob to give Fury 6'7.25".
EM said on 14/Nov/17
@Robbe I can see how you'd go with 202 cm. If you peg Wilder as 199 cm rather than 200 cm, and side on the low end of the range of difference I expect (3 - 4 cm) the math comes out to 202 cm. I can't dispute that, as in my own words I could see that being the difference. I do think that's the lowest he could possibly be.
As far as a handball goal goes - it's not particularly more useful than seeing him tower over a door frame. It's not very good proof. Look at him next to David Price and Alexander Ustinov, and you realize they would all have to be lying by an awful lot if Tyson was really the sub 6'7" that a few people here are saying he is. I really think 202 cm at least - possibly as high as 204 cm but I admit since I have an open mind that you make a solid case for why you think he's not 204.
Robbe said on 14/Nov/17
@EM, i have seen the video. Here's from the other side, 1.30 and onwards
Click Here
If Tyson is 204cm like you said, he should be at least 206cm with his dress shoes. Wilder is no moore than 201cm with his boxing shoes. I dont see 5cm difference in the video. Its barely 3cm. That makes Fury 204cm with his dress shoes. Means he is 202cm barefoot. Depending on dress shoes his wearing, maybe only 201cm. Many dress shoes have up to 3cm heels.
Also keep in mind that handball goal. Fury looks nowhere near 204cm in that pic. He should be at least 205cm with his sneakers, and yet struggles to hit the 200cm mark. Even when standing tall there, it's hard to believe he would edge the 200cm goal with 5cm..
EM said on 13/Nov/17
Video of Tyson shows he is 3 - 4 cm taller than Deontay when he stands straight, and doesn't lower himself to look Deontay in the eye.
EM said on 12/Nov/17
@Robbe - Personally I find the video to be better evidence of an accurate height difference between them than any of the photos, but the issue with Tyson is that as he's talking to Deontay, he sometimes lowers himself slightly and reduces the height difference. Here's the video

If Tyson is 6ft 6.5 (maximum guess), Hughie can't be over 6ft 4.
That is all based on Wladimirs 6ft 5 claim. And he's likely shorter.
anon176 said on 12/Nov/17
Hughie is 6ft 3...
Robbe said on 11/Nov/17
Also check the pic i posted on 3/Oct, Hughie is closer to the camera, yet he is shorter than Con Sheehan, who is listed as 197cm. Con is probably no moore than 196cm. So Hughie cant be 6'5+
Robbe said on 11/Nov/17
@EM, check the picture i posted on 25/Oct, its perhaps the best pic to judge the difference between Fury vs Wilder. No low camera angle there. The picture you just posted, Tyson is closer to the camera. Hughie is around 195-196cm, and Tyson 201-202cm. Wilder 199cm.
EM said on 11/Nov/17
@Robbe - those are also low angles. The posture varies in the pictures, Tyson definitely is losing height in the middle one in particular.
Here's Tyson with Hughie Fury who is in the 6'5"+ range himself:

EM said on 11/Nov/17
@anon176 Yes he was in massive lifts. In the ring Tyson was at lest 6 to 8 cm taller.
Robbe said on 11/Nov/17
@EM, i dont think Fury is 8cm taller than Wlad, its moore like 5-6cm.
Like said, Fury wasn't much taller than Wilder in the ring. He had footweaer advantage, and was only about an inch taller. Camera angles aren't so low in these pics.

Also, i dont think Hughie is 197cm, he is definitely shorter than 197cm listed Conan Sheehan. Price is probably 206cm out of bed, end drops to 203cm late in the evening.

@EM
How come that Wladimir edged out Tyson by 1cm (weigh in)?? Did he stand in pumps?
Click Here
EM said on 9/Nov/17
Click Here
Keep in mind, shooting for a low angle like this actually minimizes a height difference. When standing straight, Fury is clearly has at least 3 to 4 cm of height on Wilder.
Roughly it should be...
Fury: 204 cm
Wilder: 200 cm
W. Klitschko: 196 cm
V. Klitschko: 201 cm
A. Ustinov: 202 cm
A. Joshua: 198 cm
David Price: 205 cm
Joseph Parker: 190 cm
Hugie Fury: 197 cm
David Haye: 188 cm
anon176 said on 4/Nov/17
I'm wrong the pic is without shoes but you can spot that his feet are closer than the door.
Robbe said on 4/Nov/17
Problem is we dont know for sure how high those door frames are, but we do know that handball goal is exactly 200cm.
Click Here
Dont ask me why Tyson looks shorter than 200cm. Maybe cause he isn't standing at his best. But the point is, he cant be much over 200cm, if he is shorter than handball goal, when he is slouching.
Lambo said on 3/Nov/17
@The Exorcist
True but Tyson is actually very close to the door frame if you watch the clip, probably 9-18 inches away. If he was further than that the he would be taller than the edge of the 6'6" door you pointed out. I think he's a solid 6'8"
anon176 said on 3/Nov/17
Click Here
If it's a 6ft 6 frame the door itself is 199cms. Tyson appears ~205cms (w/shoes) but he's closer to the camera so you could argue anywehere starting with 6ft 5.5 (givin Wlad's CH-listing since he's taller than him) up to 6ft 7.5 depending on how close he is to the cam... although we actually don't know the time the pic is taken :-(
anon176 said on 3/Nov/17
@Reece
I will remember you that at the weigh in Wlad edged him out. Maybe Wlad was closer to his out of bed and wore a bigger heel but more than a 2-3cm difference is impossible yet. I'll give Wlad 194 and Tyson 197. Vitali should be around 198.
Reece said on 3/Nov/17
Vitali is defo shorter than Fury. Look at Vitali next to Wlad then Fury. Fury is noticeably taller next to Wlad.
Denis said on 3/Nov/17
He's kind of posing and really exaggerating his height when talking about it; Vitali is taller than him.
The Exorcist said on 2/Nov/17
@Lambo
It's an optical illusion. And an easy explanation.
Tyson appears much taller than the door-frame because he's closer to the camera. Look at the door itself. The door appears to be taller than the frame, and appears to be taller than Tyson because that is even closer to the camera than Tyson is. But in reality we know the door has to be a little less than the frame because it has to fit inside it.
It probably is a 6'6" door. Tyson's low is about 6'7.25 - 6'7.5. But he should wake up at least an inch taller than that.
anon176 said on 1/Nov/17
@Lambo
I guess it's a 6ft door frame since he appears ~215cms. There's another similar pic out there where he looks just under 7ft... he simply likes to fool us since he's a height-liar :--)
A few month ago an user shared a pic of Fury next to a Handball Goal (2m) - in fact he was shorter.
Jessman said on 1/Nov/17
@Lambo
Hard to tell from that pic. The camera is low and Tyson is in front of the door. Pro boxing (heavyweight division) is probably a bit like pro wrestling when it comes to heights so some boxers will add a bit on. Might explain why he was listed 6'7 as an amateur and now goes with 6'9?
Mark said on 1/Nov/17
Honestly, I think 6'8 at the least, maybe even 6'8.5
Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 1/Nov/17
@Lambo
Not a good pic. The angle's making him look taller because the camera level's so low. Plus he was wearing shoes.
Editor Rob
Door heights mostly are 6ft 6 range in the UK, though as I showed in a video on youtube, you can find 6ft 9-10 range doors too!
Lambo said on 1/Nov/17
Check out this screenshot I took, if this is a standard size U.K doorway (6'6") then Tyson is very close to the 6'9" he claims.

Fair bit taller than Wlad in the ring. Looks a tad shorter than Price. nothing less than 6-7 1/2 even before bed for sure.6-8 is very likely to.
Reece said on 26/Oct/17
Parker is probably 6-3. 6-4 could be in Shoes. Tyson Fury is 6 foot 8 in my opinion and 6-9 in shoes or close out of bed hence the claim.
184guy said on 25/Oct/17
I donno where this 6'8 claims came from . He looked shorter than Wlad ( in trainers with lifts ) but Í doubt that Wlad took 3 inches of advantage and Í didnt think that Fury looked Much taller than Wilder. He also looked shorter than David Price ( could be a flat 6'8) So 6'7.5 is my guess for Tyson Fury.
Matthew Robinson said on 25/Oct/17
Does anyone know what Joseph Parker's real height is? He can't really be 6'4" can he? Fury looks so much taller than Parker

Robbe said on 21/Oct/17
Wasn't much taller than Wilder in the ring. Wilder in boxing shoes, Fury in dress shoes. So 6'7.5 seems ok.

I thought he was pretty obviously taller than Wilder. I'd expect at least an inch between the 2.
Sixseven said on 22/Oct/17
Very tall.Maybe 202 cm.
Matthew Robinson said on 21/Oct/17
If we're talking post boxing match I could see him perhaps getting down as low as the 6'7.25" he's listed here. I think with extreme exhaustion people can drop a fraction below what they'd normally measure. But I think normal evening measurement of 6'7.5" or a mid day 6'7.75" looks about what I'd guess. Edges out Ustinov who is reportedly at 6'7.5" (perhaps that's more like a mid-morning measurement than a night one? Fury is undoubtedly a little bit taller) he was edged out by David Price who claims 6'9" himself although he is often listed as a flat 6'8" too.

I could see Fury measuring as high as 6'8.5" in the morning. Look at him there.

Con Sheehan is listed as 197cm and he allways looks taller than Hughie.

Con is prpbably little under 197cm, so i struggle to believe 196-197cm for Hughie. He is moore like 195-195,5cm. He also looked that with 190cm Parker.
Matthew Robinson said on 2/Oct/17
If Fury is the height that Rob has him at, Parker is looking 6'2.5" at most in that video of them clowning around shirtless. The difference between the 2 appears closer to 5 inches than it does 3.
In fact watching it again, I'd go so far as to say it looks a strong 5" there.
Reece said on 2/Oct/17
@Robbe. Parker looks more than 0.25 taller. I agree not 193cm. Looks around 191-192. 0.25 inches is unbelievably close. Rarely are people that close.
Robbe said on 2/Oct/17
@Reece, not the best angles, i know, but the point is, i havent seen a single photo where Parker looks 193cm. He appears allways no moore than 190cm. Here is a very good screenshot Parker vs. Bellew. To me, Bellew looks hair taller. Bellew is listed 189cm on this site, but he might be 190cm. I think both men are pretty much bang on 190cm.

@Robbw. That's such a poor camaraderie angle. Hughie is bigger than 195cm. Look at him with Manchester United. He is defo 196-197cm. Parker looks about 191-192cm. Those are poor angles?

193cm is probably Parker's shoe height. Hughie Fury looked 2 inches taller than Parker, so that would make Hughie around 195cm.

It would be interesting to see Hughie and Wlad staredown. Hughie says he is taller than Wlad, but im not so sure about that. Here's and old picture, Hughie is very young there, 17-18 years, he has most likely grown up couple of centimeters since then.
Click Here
Wlad was measured 195cm in Olympics 1996, he was 20 years and 4 months back then. I dont know how rare it is to gain height after 20 years of old, but it is possible i guess. I havent grown a millimeter since the army days. How about you folks?
