Not really important, but DAZN commentator Brian Kenny was wrong during the Fury-Wilder 3 fight when he stated it is "the biggest, real heavyweight fight of all time", meaning the total packe of size and weight. Reality: Fury: Height: 6'9(205cm) (we know he is shorter but "officially") Weight: 277lb / 125.6kg / 19st11lbs Wilder: 6'7"(201cm) Weight: 238lbs / 107.9kg / 17st0lbs They brought together: Height: 13'4.2" (407cm) Weight: 515lbs / 233.6kg / 38st11lbs This is NOT the record! Valuev vs McCline in 2007 WAS 100% legit and real. The fight was for the WBA belt and back in the day there was no super champ and. Haye gained the WBA belt with his win over Valuev later, and Wlad took it from Haye. Wlad was not WBA champ until he defeated Haye. Valuev: Height: 7ft(213cm) Weight: 322lbs / 146kg / 23st0lbs McCline: Height: 6'6"(198cm) Weight: 268lbs / 121.5kg / 19st2lbs They brought together: Height: 13'5.8"(411cm) Weight: 590lbs / 267.6kg / 42st2lbs Valuev vs McCline was the "biggest" when it comes to size and weight as total package.
I made this thread about fattest championship bout Fury Whyte will get that title https://www.boxingforum24.com/threa...yweight-championship-fight-in-history.676654/
I think the emphasis was on "real" heavyweight title fight. Fury was the defending World (Lineal/Ring) champ. Valuev was never recognized as such.
