    Tyson Fury next to Ustinov who is listed 6'7½ (202cm). Fury looks like 2cm shorter than Ustinov there. So Furys real height is 6ft6½ (200cm)?

    Interesting thing.

    When Fury started his career he was listed at 6'7. Fought McDermott and others like that.

    Then he suddenly grew an inch for fight Rogan.

    Then he grew another inch to fight Cunningham.

    It's just hype, as always.

    Exactly. It's why the noise over Fury having a size advantage will remain just that - noise. There's probably only an inch or so in height between him and Wlad.

    Not sure I remember a single fighter in Fury's career who was the size of Wlad either. Wlad will be stronger than Fury too - which I think will surprise many people.

    On top of that, the fact that Fury fights tall will play into Wlad's hands too, in my opinion.

    I think Fury is about 6'7½.
