Hearn talking about Helenius being 6'9". WTF? The weigh in with AJ showed him to be about 6'4". I could understand an inch here or there, but this is getting stupid. Duckson is another one whose specs change regularly. You'd think that the alphabet orgs could sort it out once and for all.
Helenius is slightly taller. I think Joshua had shoes with high heel. Found picture from years ago when they sparred. Helenius is on the front here but he is slightly taller. Joshua has the reach anyway This content is protected
Look at today's weigh-in video, which is very clear on their comparative heights. They both have shoes on, which could be an inch in AJ's favor. But for Helenius to be 6'9", AJ would have to be 6'7" or 6'8", and we all know he's not that tall.
I had to google how much is 6,9. 6 foot 9 inches = 205.74 centimeters Yes this is incorrect. In Finland he is said to be even 2m which is 6,74
Promoters do hype up fights, events, that's their job. Hearn came up with that BS, not true. Helenius is 6'6, maybe close to 6'7 , as always.
However, the cold weather in Finland shrinks humans an inch or so. Take that into consideration in your calculations.
Every HW that I know, is lying about his height. I have seen Gassiev in person, boxrec said that his height is 192 cm, I am 193 cm and he was way shorter then me. Also there is no way Fury is that tall.
