https://www.celebheights.com/s/Oleksandr-Usyk-53210.html According to celebheights which is the best source on the internet for this sort of thing Oleksandr Usyk is a consensus 6'2-6'2 and a half with a handful of votes for 6'1 and a half to 3 quarters. That puts Usyk in a size bracket closer to a Michael Moorer than to a George Foreman. The next time you hear someone try to make the claim that Usyk is "George Foreman sized" please redirect them to the above link.
And Celebheights is more reputable than a dozen other sources that put him at 1.91 meters, which is over 6-3? George Foreman sized.
It’s very rare any tale of the tape is all that accurate and that includes reach. I’ve seen countless stare offs with equal heights on paper and a forehead of difference in reality. I’d say it’s fair to say “George Foreman sized” if he’s 6ft1-6ft3 210-225lbs.
We all know that billed heights are often frauded which is why celebheights was put together as a source to debunk false heights through evidence and discourse. Its the only way to actually fact check these fake celebrity heights. Or else they can just claim whatever they like and no one will ever try to fact check them. Read through the link yourself a lot of really strong evidence is assembled to qualify Usyk's real height. Feel free to present your counterpoints to them if you think you can.
Usyk was a light heavyweight when he won the 2008 Strandja Cup and gold at the 2008 European Championships at 21 years old.
I do. A Michael Moorer sized heavyweight paints a completely different picture than a hulking "George Foreman sized" heavyweight that Usyk is falsely characterized as being here by a few handful of posters looking to drive an agenda and hoping nobody will ever try to fact check it.
