    Finally somebody who can see through the sky bollocks!!!

    If Whyte doesn't beat this old man within 4 rounds he better hope he doesn't get the fury fight any time soon because it will be embarrassing

    Anthony Joshua definitely isn't 6'6.5". CelebHeights have him at 6'5.75" I believe, and that seems about right. 6'6'' is about believable, but not over.

    Dillian Whyte is close to 6'3'', but certainly not taller. He claimed 6'3'' himself in a video on his channel last year. I have stood up close and he was no taller than me and I tell people I'm 6'2'', though I measure taller.

    If we're being pedantic, then it depends when one is measured. On average, most will measure around 0.5 or 0.75 of an inch taller straight out of bed.

    Tyson Fury's height is very much inflated. He's no taller than 6'7.5". He even told Otto Wallin at the weigh in when they were face-to-face that he's 6'7'' when Otto Wallin said "you're not 6'9'', how tall are you?" or something of the like.

    Some of them do chat nonsense, but Rob, the webmaster, is generally spot on. His YouTube videos are also good.

    Anthony Joshua definitely isn't that tall, but his listing of 6'6'' is not inflated.

    Dereck Chisora, I've noticed, seems to be often listed at 6'1.5". I can just about buy that. Alexander Povetkin I would say is 6'2'', or near enough. Dillian Whyte is taller than both. I would say that he's 6'2.5". He can sometimes look slightly taller, but having seen him in person 6'3'' seems a stretch.

    I'm normally 0.75" shorter at about 9pm or so, than morning, but that probably takes effect earlier, but not midday I don't think. It will depend on the exercise done that day, but I've measured myself a full inch shorter.

    You might remember David Haye claiming 6'4'' only a couple of years ago, saying he grew an inch after back surgery. The reality is he was never even 6'3''.

    Fury would jab the life out him while dancing away for 12. Would be more clinical than Fury Chisora 2.

    No offence, but why would anyone follow “celeb heights since forever” - what a strange way to use the Internet?!

    Says the man with a dodgy folder encrypted with 17 different passwords, and over 50 terabytes' worth of hard drive stashed away in his loft.

    It's genuinely odd what rubs some people up the wrong way on this forum. Most are sound enough, but you've got clear Jezza Kyle candidates floating around.

    Wasn’t directed at you as I don’t really know you as a poster. More @Aydamn, who’s quite a strange fella.

    I’m cheering for Persoon to put an end to women’s boxing on big bills in the UK...at least for the next year or 2 anyway
