    He just seems a little bigger than Klitschko (1m98) and Pianeta (1m96).
    Fury measures a maximum of 2m01, not 2m06

    Wasn't it said that Klitschko wore lifts during the buildup to their fight?

    He's a little under 6ft8 (2,03m) barefoot and 6ft9 (2,06m) in shoes.

    Hes got an inch on Wlad which makes him about 6'7"

    David Price is listed as 6'8" and he's taller.

    I think fury may have measured 6'9 in some shoes and they went with that

    6'7" in shoes at the most, but likely 198cm, since he was slightly shorter than Carmelo Anthony, who is 199cm. He wasn't much taller than Wilder, who I've met in person and Wilder is 6'5" at the most.

    Tyson and 6'6" Carmelo Anthony

    David Allen admitting that Wlad isn't anywhere near 6'6"

    "He got his lifts in again, wlad is no taller than 6ft 4 bare foot. He isn't much taller than me honestly I couldn't believe it when I was stood next to him. Barefoot 6ft 2 and half of I'm. Being honest he was barefoot I had trainers in we was the same height so he is 6ft 4"

    I don't believe Tyson Fury is 6'9. He's maybe 6'7 but I haven't seen him in person.
    I've met Hughie Fury in person and I'd say he's 6'4 but he's listed as 6'6.

    Nope. Kareem is a legit 7'1" and easily has a few inches on him. I played high school and college basketball and coaches would always add at least 2 inches to make players look more attractive to scouts. Early in his career Shaq was consistently listed at 6'11", but once he started standing out they started inflating his height.

    Kareem and Shaq.

    And given Price has a tiny head body wise he's quite a bit taller.
