    While both are listed at 6' tall I can't help but think Yardes height may be overstated, for one physically he looks too bulky imo to be a legit 6' at 175 unless he was to rehydrate a lot and also iirc he used to be listed at 5'9 on Boxrec initially.

    Kovalev on the other hand initially was listed at 5'11 early on and I was really surprised seeing him next to Hopkins and Caparello who were both listed as being much taller than him but the difference looked negligible with them standing side by side.

    I feel this could be a factor in the fight as Kovalev has a great sense of distance and does really well when he can control the fight from the outside with his jab.

    Kovalev is definitely 6 foot, was the same height as ward at the face off. Yarde is close to that but gives an impression of being smaller because of his wide frame.

    There’s a picture of him and Haye on instagram and there’s about a 3-4 inch difference. Hes probably around 5’11.

    Yarde must be 5 ft 11 to 6 foot... his wide stocky frame makes it look as if he is shorter

    He must be dehydrating a lot because the guy isnhuge for a 6 foot LHW

    I don't think the difference is that big but I'm definitely looking forward to the face off

    Kovalev is probably 6'0 even and Yarde is probably 5'10 or so. For reference, MW Danny Jacobs is 5'11 1/2, and built like a brick **** house. I mean you really can't tell unless you see a picture with.a good reference point in the picture.

    Yarde looks same height as 5'9 Reiss Nelson but edges out 5'10 1/4 KSI here.

    He's definitely in 5'9-5'10 1/2 range. Not 6 foot.

    EDIT.

    Looks close to 6 foot Gerard and 6 ft Lampard here but we don't know footwear

    They called Kovalev noodles I think he's 6'2.
    Report is Yarde is barely touching 5'9

    Let's be honest here Yarde is 5'4" and Kovalev is a genuine 6'8". Golovkin knocked him out in sparring, think about that.

    Kov always looked like a 6'1 guy to me even though he's listed as 6 even
