    Good video here from Rob, the owner of CelebHeights. Give the whole thing a watch.

    I think the most telling instance was Tyson Fury telling Otto Wallin that he is 6'7''. It seems the forum always labels him as 6'9'', but that's definitely not true.

    He isn't 6' 9" that's for sure. But 6' 7½" or 6' 8" seems more likely when you saw him compared to Wlad and Wilder.

    I wonder what Rob's native language is by the way.

    Fury is the same size has the damn undertaker. He looked much bigger than Deontay and Wlad in the ring. He's huge!

    ha, yeah, I can't begin to imagine. for sure he's the tallest top heavyweight out there, other than that i don't think we can really say. he's an inch or so taller than wilder, whose own 6'7" I suspect is, whilst possibly rounded up, certainly not a work of fiction, since his height was never really a key part of his image/resume... so if Wilder is, what, somwhere between 6'6" and 6'7", Fury must be at least a little over 6'7", maybe as tall as 6'8"? I can't say I'd be *that* stunned if his billed height turned out to be almost true, though my best guess is that it isn't quite.

    I'm not sure if you're joking or not. Big Rob is from East Kilbride, Scotland. His native language is English.

    Wilder and Wlad look the same height next to Fury

    When they got in the ring though Fury looked bigger for sure.

    The question is not whether or not he's taller than Wladimir Klitschko (who claims 6'5'', not his listed 6'6'') or Deontay Wilder. He definitely is. But it's clear that he's more 6'7" or 6'7.5" than 6'9". For what it's worth, I think Deontay Wilder is more 6'6.5" than 6'7".

    This is hardly a big deal, but it's interesting to speculate about.

    It's funny because when you see Fury in pictures with people in the gym. if they are as tall or even taller Fury always gets on his tippy toes.

    :D

    I love how the height that he claims he is there is no way it's true but a bunch of guys throwing out guesses on a forum is somehow more accurate

    Wlad is a legit 6.6 and fury is taller. I think between 6.7 and 6.8

    Tyson Fury: "6'9", 205cm of inside fightingness"

    205cm is actually 6' 7.2"

    which looks more correct.

    Fury's reach is definitely longer than the guys who are 6'6" 6'7" though.

    Wilder was getting caught with hooks and jabs from a mile away and couldn't believe it.
