    Are Dubois’ stats still claiming 6’5”? Lol, if so, that’s ridiculous.

    Interestingly, his reach of 78” appears to be more in line with his true height - which I would guess to be 6’3 1/2” max, only about 1” or so taller than Usyk.

    Otherwise, IIRC, he had about 10-12 lbs on Olek when they fought - though, relative to his frame, Daniel appeared to hold his weight more naturally.

    Monolith might be a better description for Joshua, especially since monoliths are inanimate - AJ side steps that attribute….but only just. :D

    AJ is one of the ones where I think his listed height is actually accurate. I did notice that Dubois was shorter than him, even though they were billed as the same height.

    Yeah, AJ’s height stat is fine - just Dubois’s is dodgy. Same for Andy Ruiz Jr - claiming 6’2” I think but really more like 6’ flat.

    They were refering to the size difference, at the time a lot of fans were glazing over AJ`s body and height.
