    When Usyk v Fury came face to face at the Loma fight Fury didn`t seem that much taller, is too much being made about their height difference?

    It's always the "FURY 6'9 OUT WRESTLES ANYONE!"

    Fury is realistically 6'6

    Fury's real height is 202 cm. 206 cm was billed height.
    Usyk is solid 190 cm at night and ~191-192 cm at morning. I don't know why people see Usyk like a midget. He is clearly taller than Whyte.

    I'm sure this coversation has already been had..

    That being said Fury isn't miles taller than Usyk. Fury is 6ft 7inch tops and Usyk 6ft 3inch so 4 inch or a fraction over 10cm.

    The height will barely make a difference considering Joshua is only an inch shorter than Fury and Usyk took care of business.

    I really don't understand the rational that Fury is too big it's nonsense.

    Wlad was always a mental midget when it comes to these things.

    In the ring, Fury was obviously taller than him.

    Nice display of evidence. If you see it once easy to dismiss. If you see it time and time again then tough titty. Case closed.

    The overall size difference will definitely be an issue. Fury has something like an 85inch reach, and he’s naturally a huge guy. Wilder bulked up to 230+, and looked small overall. Joshua’s weight is also artificial in comparison.

    That’s not to say that Usyk can’t overcome those odds, but it will play a huge part if/when they fight.

    Shame he never fought AJ then we could have finally found out his actual height.

    Fury was wearning his usually flat slipper type shoes. Usyk had chunky soles. That's an inch or two right there.

    I'm sure there will be a noticeable size difference in the ring, but Usyk isn't a small man himself.

    The easiest way to compare is to look at Fury V Chisora face off and Usyk V Chisora face off.

    Usyk was slightly taller than del. Fury made him look like a midget. Obviously the Usyk/Fury size difference isn't unassailable but it is significant. Fury is a big guy.
