    Trust me 2 inches is easily still noticeable if you're comparing 2 guys even if their 6'6 and 6'8. The first picture isn't reliable because you dont see their shoes and also Furys posture looks a bit more upright. In the second picture you can see their shoes and you can see the height difference isn't as noticeable. It looks around 1.5 inches and Ajagba for all we know might not even be 6'6. I know Tyson Fury's true height because not only did he look 6'7½ next to 6'8 David Price, he looks half an inch to a third of an inch taller than 6'7 Wilder in a one of the press conference faceoffs and both likely had same size Soles, Fury's actually looked slightly taller.

    Fury is NOT 6'9 and im pretty sure he brushes up against 6'8 on his best day. Likely 6'7¾ or maybe 6'7⅘. You can round that to 6'8 but he's not 6'9

    They are probably still using the height measured when he had a head of hair.

    Six nine, six eight or six seven and a bit, fact is that he is a big big ol unit.

    If you cut Ajagba's hair there's at least a 2 inch height difference.

    Ajagba is a tank. He looks the type of guy that casuals would see crush cans and proclaim the next champion. Good to see Fury getting quality sparring because I don't see him losing this so long as he puts the work in.

    I think it's a matter of perspective.

    First follow the curve of Ajagba's skull and get an idea of how much is hair etc.

    Then consider this is two large men in a photo. The framing would be the same for a 5'6" next to a 5'9" fighter. With the smaller fighters with the same framing the difference would be more pronounced.

    3" isn't that big a difference in this context, so it looks there or there abouts to me.

    draw line from Fury's eyeline to EA's and it's 3" or close enough.

    I think Ajagba and Fury are excellent sparring partners for their upcoming fights against Sanchez and Wilder.

    Looks like they are beating up Tyson Fury in sparring. (LOL) Hope he manages to survive training camp. He literally has a busted lip and a bruised cheek two weeks before the fight.

    Probably brawling with Big Shane his brother, they regularly go toe to toe over trivial issues. This is why Marcello's needs to watch out, Shane might not look much but he has backyard wins over the heavyweight champ of the world.

    Efe Ajagba is a great sparring Partner. The closest thing to Wilder you'll get really. Sparring anyone with technical boxing skills is pointless.
    He needs to sparr those with one punch KO power.

    You'd have got on so well with @Aydamn, he was also obsessed with the heights of other men. Shame he's not around anymore.
