    Even for a comeback fight, this is a disgrace.

    If he is going down the African warlord route he could at least fight Richard Lartey who rocked Dubois.

    Somebody needs to be fired if the opportunity to have Tetteh do his ringwalk dressed as Scrooge doesn't happen.

    Whyte doesn't stand at 6'4''. Tetteh is apparently 36 but looks about 50.

    So his listing is wrong on Wikipedia, BoxRec, Tapology, FightFax, and everywhere else?

    Hell, you don't even need a source - you can just eyeball it. He's a bit taller than Povetkin (6'2") and a bit shorter than Joshua (6'6") in about equal measure.

    True.

    It was standing room only.

    Whyte himself claims 6'3'' (some old iFLTV video, I believe one of the videos in which he addressed Joshua's alleged use of TUE) and I have met him. 6'3'' is also a slight stretch.

    I'm not sure why you cite a number of different websites, as if they are remotely credible when it comes to height. Tyson Fury is listed at 6'9'' everywhere and he's in the 6'7'' range and even said 6'7'' when Wallin asked him how tall he really is when they came face to face either at the presser or weigh-in.

    Heavyweight heighs are grossly inflated.
