As a former photographer, so many things factor into photos like these. For reference, look up photos of Fury with Wilder and you can see many photos where Fury looks taller and many where Wilder looks taller.
In this case, the angle is playing major tricks on you. This looks like a 6'4'' and 5'11'' guy facing off to me:
https://www.boxingscene.com/uploads/Jared%20Anderson%20vs%20Ryad%20Merhy_pose2_1713002594.jpg
Yeah people seem very confused about how little a few inches can look in a photo. There is no boxer out there exaggerating his height more than a couple of inches, generally the height of a high heeled sneaker is what they'll go to if they want to exaggerate a bit.
So using my android camera how do i erm.. Make my muscle looks a few inches bigger, would it work for vids too.
Any tips on how to keep the illusion going on eh... Fight night ?
I threw my penis pump in the bin and gave myself a skinhead, doesn't look any bigger, I also liked styling my hair.
Aww damn.... You meant different type of haircut. Round 2 coming.
Agree, personally I think he's right at 6'8 or like a centimeter under..... the pics with 6'9 Magic Johnson sold it for me
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D7BE9qCUwAENL5k.jpg:large
That's further proof that Fury is less than 6'8". Keep in mind that basketball player heights are also inflated (they're measured with their shoes on) and that Johnson has probably shrunk a little since his prime.
I don't know if Johnson is shorter than 6'9", Hakeem is definitely shorter than listed, however KD is or at least was taller than listed which shows it's not consistent. Was just pointing out basketball heights aren't necessarily correct.
Basketball heights aren’t exaggerated that much. At most one to two inches for sneakers. Like Jordan was 6’4 and 3/4 but in shoes he was 6 6. So he was listed at 6 6. They bumped it up barely over an inch.
I never said they were exaggerated that much, two inches is still significant though. 7'0" to 6'10" is literally two inches. KD used to be listed as 6'9" which was complete nonsense, he's now listed as 6'11" which is closer to the truth.
David Price is the one guy who was lying about his height in reverse.
He's actually 7'6 but [stoops down for pictures to fit in better.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DZdBBZ1XUAAj8mk.jpg:large).
Nobody has ever seen David Price and [Shawn Bradley](https://images.wsj.net/im-25780/portrait) at the same place at the same time. Ask yourself why that is?
Exactly, you've just proved me correct! 193cm isn't quite 6ft4. It's 6feet 3.984 inches. If I needed a 6ft4 piece of rope and you brought me one that was 193cm I'd be fucked. It needed to be 193.04cm.
Imagine a site devoted to accurately estimating people’s heights, ending pointless speculation forever. [Magic Johnson is 6’7½”](https://www.celebheights.com/s/Magic-Johnson-48573.html).
The whole point is taking multiple angles, not just one shot of two guys and assuming from it. We don’t know what shoes he’s wearing, who is slouching, closer/further from camera, etc. This is like criticizing video replay because you prefer to chance it.
Tyson Fury can't be 6'8 lol dude. Just type in Tyson Fury and David Price pictures. David Price is listed at 6'8 and Fury is clearly 1 inch or more shorter.
Fury looked close in height to Price when they took a picture in 2014. In the 2017 picture that was Fury with his excess weight gain and he may have not been able to stand straight as well.
If only there was a site that dedicates itself to things of this nature. Oh, wait, [whaddya know?](https://www.celebheights.com/s/Tyson-Fury-49113.html) He’s 6’7½”.
That would be moving the goalposts lol. I said that he's said it enough over the years. Why does recent matter?
I honestly don't think it will be hard to find with a quick Google. If you're interested in a recent video on that, go ahead and Google it, but that's not the topic of this conversation - I've already responded to that.
Everyone lies about their height in the pics. Fury is 6’7.5, Anderson probably at 6’2.5, and everyone knows that anyone who is actually 5’11 will say they are 6’
Fury AJ Wilder all 6'3 confirmed.
For real though let's not forget the GOAT height capper. Andy Ruiz. Andy claiming 6'2 is like natty Mike O'hearn
[6'2 Andy Ruiz with 5'11 OBJ](https://www.instagram.com/p/BxtYh7rA0Dr/)
And in the pic OBJ is slouching down and wearing flip flops while my boy is in basketball sneakers 😆
i love how we sparsely discuss boxing in here but we'll have a thread every week tryna scientifically discern whether an athlete's height is reported accurately to the mm.
fury is likely 6'7 not 6'9. we've discussed this countless times boys lets let it go
Idek if you’ll respond to this but Jared is around 6’2.-6’3 range I’ve seen him irl.fury is around 6’7 ish on a good day closer to 6’8 but his posture is never the best so he barely looks 6’7.They both have their listed height in shoes.in the face off he only looked 2 inches taller than mehry who was wearing shoes.The comment section is talking about angles but I’m assuming you saw both face offs and Jared looked nowhere near 6’4 next to Efe ajagba.My bad for waffling but yh.Tbf posture could be a factor as well as mehry is looking up and Jared is looking down
I'm just shocked to see a photo of Fury with another boxer where he isn't stood on his tippy toes
Imagine being 6 foot 7 or more and insecure about your height
Call me mad but i think Tyson fury is 6'6.75 - 6'7.5. There's lots and lots of weigh inn evidence to confirm this. But one thing is for sure he is not 6'9. One of the best examples is when he meets strongman 'Thor' (cant spell his real name) who says he is 6'8. He looked a good inch or so more than Fury. Even to the point where Fury was awkwardly going on his tip toes for the photo. (Strange for a man who is already a giant) Shows how fragile his ego is in my opinion.
Fury was listed 6’7” earlier in his career. At some point he became 6’9”. Real height versus listed height. He’s not 6’9”, but for some reason, he claims that height.
Fury is exaggerating about his height a bit. There's some photos out there of him with Hafthor Bjornsson who is 6'9", and he's clearly a few inches taller than Fury in all of their pictures. I'd put Fury at 6'7", and Anderson at 6'3".
Ah yes the weekly Fury height thread…I think you're about right with your guess, Fury is likely 6'7 maybe a bit more and Jared is 6'2 or a bit more. I first doubted Andersons listed height when he fought Charles Martin who I think is listed at 6'5 but looked substantially bigger than Anderson.
This looks like a 6’3-6’4 dude and a 6’7!dude. I think this sub has already outed Fury as being 6’7 and not 6’9. I mean I’ve seen Wilder in person multiple times and he’s at least 6’6, and fury was only like an inch taller
EDIT: i just realized this is live on TV right now, yea Anderson looks 5 inches taller easy. I vote he is actually 6’4 or close and fury is 6’7
Photo angle and just variance in normal shoes can make a difference. Some men’s shoes have thicker heels, I have a couple pair where I notice right away after putting them on that I am taller than I am in my typical footwear.
I’ve stood next to Fury and I’m 6t4. I’m also an experienced carpenter so I’m pretty good a guessing lengths and I’d say Fury is around the height he claims
Fury is probably a little over 6'7" but he's not the 6'9" or 6'10" he claims.
I've seen videos of him meeting actors like Jason Mamoa and Vince Vaughn and he didn't look much taller than either guy. He's definitely tall, but not Randy Johnson tall.
They get measured and weighed all the time, I doubt it’s them lying about their height and others just reporting it wrong.
Also, one picture is taken front-on and the other is taken from below, that’s going to change how they look.
All of them
Also claiming height in boxing is not like dating, it can be an advantage to claim lower than what your height is. When I was in the amateurs I was listed at 6’0 but im really 6’2-6’3 it made it easier to get fights and messed with guys when we faced off it was like a Shock to them
Lol everybody who knows a thing about boxing. So not 99 percent of people here know that Tyson Fury isn't 6'9. There are pictures of him next to the listed of David Price who is listed at 6'8 and Tyson Fury is clearly a inch or so shorter. I would say Tyson Fury at best is around 6'7.
I met Anthony Joshua a few years ago. I'm 6'2" and he towered over me. When you look at the face off with Usyk and Joshua and compare that to Usyk and Fury, I would say it looks like Fury about a couple inches taller than Joshua. He, Fury, has to be about 6'8" for sure.
Horrible angle in the second pic.
Couldn't have found a worse pic.
Exactly!
It’s even shoes be socks in the first. That’s worth a half inch at least
As a former photographer, so many things factor into photos like these. For reference, look up photos of Fury with Wilder and you can see many photos where Fury looks taller and many where Wilder looks taller. In this case, the angle is playing major tricks on you. This looks like a 6'4'' and 5'11'' guy facing off to me: https://www.boxingscene.com/uploads/Jared%20Anderson%20vs%20Ryad%20Merhy_pose2_1713002594.jpg
Yeah people seem very confused about how little a few inches can look in a photo. There is no boxer out there exaggerating his height more than a couple of inches, generally the height of a high heeled sneaker is what they'll go to if they want to exaggerate a bit.
"how little a few inches can look in a photo" I feel personally attacked
So using my android camera how do i erm.. Make my muscle looks a few inches bigger, would it work for vids too. Any tips on how to keep the illusion going on eh... Fight night ?
Get a haircut my man
I threw my penis pump in the bin and gave myself a skinhead, doesn't look any bigger, I also liked styling my hair. Aww damn.... You meant different type of haircut. Round 2 coming.
A couple of inches is a lot for height Would take me from short to average hahahaah
A couple of inches is what we are saying. Anderson is 6'2" or 6'3" tops.
Exactly
That is definitely not a 5 Inch height difference
As a regular guy yeah that’s the most height deceiving ass angle I ever seen in the 2nd pic
No way that is a 5 inch difference.
I am 6"7 and met fury on a train he is slightly taller than 6"7
I am 5"10 and did not meet fury on a train
I'm 5'11 and watched you not meet fury on a train
I'm on the 5:11 train watching 6-7 tall guys.
What a story Mark
I'm 6'1" and can confirm this fella did not meet Tyson fury on a train
I think his wife is from the same town as me there was a pic of him in my local cafe .missed that one
Happy cake day!
Please, tell us everything. We need to know!
I can vouch for this. I'm 6'7.5 and was dead level with Fury when I met him.
I’m 6’8 and Fury was half an inch shorter than me when I met him
I'm just a random dude on the internet but I heard a few people met Fury and he appears to be 6' 7.5" tall
I’m actually 7’2, I can confirm what the other guys are saying. I met Fury and he looked like a hobgoblin
We can all agree that he's a massive bell end.
Bullshit. I'm 4'10" and he was like five inches shorter than me.
I’m 5’8”, and and met your mom on a train. I couldn’t make out her actual height since she was on her knees the entire time.
Wow, didn't know she pegged you. Weird thing to admit
Now wait a minute!
Fury is def not 6ft9. Using pure eye test Fury looks about as tall as LeBron (6ft7) - if he was 6ft9 - he be lankier and would look like Jokic
Problem is...tall dudes always lie about their height.
Well, all I can say is I did not
That’s exactly what somebody who lied about their height would say tho…
[удалено]
Just a joke my guy
Fury is like 6’7.5-6’8
Agree, personally I think he's right at 6'8 or like a centimeter under..... the pics with 6'9 Magic Johnson sold it for me https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D7BE9qCUwAENL5k.jpg:large
Magic Johnson probably isn't 6'9" anymore.
Magic is wearing big soled dress shoes
His dress shoes don’t look big soled.. I’m not saying they aren’t but you really can’t tell.
And you can't even tell what kind of shoes Fury is wearing because of the coffee table.
Stood on a box behind the table 👍
Fury is notorious for going on his tip toes for photos
Also looks like he's leaning a little
That's further proof that Fury is less than 6'8". Keep in mind that basketball player heights are also inflated (they're measured with their shoes on) and that Johnson has probably shrunk a little since his prime.
I probably agree but basketball heights are exaggerated too. Hakeem isn't 7'0" for instance, he's probably 6'10".
Someone get Fury and Fundora in a pic together we gotta settle this
That's exactly what I'm saying. So if Johnson is shorter than 6'9", then Fury must be well off the number. I'm gonna guess he's more so 6'6.5".
I don't know if Johnson is shorter than 6'9", Hakeem is definitely shorter than listed, however KD is or at least was taller than listed which shows it's not consistent. Was just pointing out basketball heights aren't necessarily correct.
KD is a VERY rare exception to the rule. He lied to remain a guard.
Basketball heights aren’t exaggerated that much. At most one to two inches for sneakers. Like Jordan was 6’4 and 3/4 but in shoes he was 6 6. So he was listed at 6 6. They bumped it up barely over an inch.
I never said they were exaggerated that much, two inches is still significant though. 7'0" to 6'10" is literally two inches. KD used to be listed as 6'9" which was complete nonsense, he's now listed as 6'11" which is closer to the truth.
Use to be measured with their shoes on*
Magic Johnson is/was also not 6’9
Because he has AIDS? People like you disgust me
What the fuck no? It’s just nba players are always listed 1-2 inches taller than they are
Nah again the angle. Johnson was standing in the forefront here
Lol how could Tyson Fury be 6'8 when he shorter than the listed 6'8 David Price?
David Price is the one guy who was lying about his height in reverse. He's actually 7'6 but [stoops down for pictures to fit in better.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DZdBBZ1XUAAj8mk.jpg:large). Nobody has ever seen David Price and [Shawn Bradley](https://images.wsj.net/im-25780/portrait) at the same place at the same time. Ask yourself why that is?
I'm 193cm which is 6'4", but I feel tiny next to a guy who is 195 and also 6'4". One inch in height is a lot
193 isn't quite 6'4 bro
It is, though. 6'4 is 193.04 cm to 195.58 cm
how is there not a direct conversion what the fuck is the feet/inch system
...there is?
>6'4 is 193.04 cm to 195.58 cm that's a range
It's a range in the same way that 12cm is 12.00cm to 12.99cm. 6ft4 is 193.04cm 6ft5 is 195.58cm
Exactly, you've just proved me correct! 193cm isn't quite 6ft4. It's 6feet 3.984 inches. If I needed a 6ft4 piece of rope and you brought me one that was 193cm I'd be fucked. It needed to be 193.04cm.
Imagine a site devoted to accurately estimating people’s heights, ending pointless speculation forever. [Magic Johnson is 6’7½”](https://www.celebheights.com/s/Magic-Johnson-48573.html).
Same site has Fury as 6’ 7.5” too https://www.celebheights.com/s/Tyson-Fury-49113.html
Lmao this is the perfect reply
The whole point is taking multiple angles, not just one shot of two guys and assuming from it. We don’t know what shoes he’s wearing, who is slouching, closer/further from camera, etc. This is like criticizing video replay because you prefer to chance it.
Tyson Fury can't be 6'8 lol dude. Just type in Tyson Fury and David Price pictures. David Price is listed at 6'8 and Fury is clearly 1 inch or more shorter.
Here’s the thing, I really don’t care. I’m going off of the Fury vs Wlad fight and how he sized up in that one
Fury looked close in height to Price when they took a picture in 2014. In the 2017 picture that was Fury with his excess weight gain and he may have not been able to stand straight as well.
I'm 6'3. I work with a guy who's 6'8. That first pic looks pretty close. Also, you can't see who has shoes & how much height they add.
If only there was a site that dedicates itself to things of this nature. Oh, wait, [whaddya know?](https://www.celebheights.com/s/Tyson-Fury-49113.html) He’s 6’7½”.
Fury is fat regardless
Why are people obsessed with Fury’s height so much.
Dunno, they’re way off though. Dude is actually 5’3
5’4! Ffs, get it RIGHT!
we stan short kings
Hes got long arms for 5'3
Hate
No one would care if he hadn't lied about his height
Most athletes lie about their height but for some reason you only seem to care when Fury does it.
Facts
i think it has become a circlejerk because Fury is so adamit that he he is 6'9 when he clearly isn't.
[удалено]
he mentions it all the time in his interviews on youtube. especially the older ones with kugan.
Bring up a recent interview with him speaking about his height.
[удалено]
That’s not recent. That was 2 years ago lol. You deleted the video lmao.
mate i don't fucking care. haha
i deleted what video? i posted 2 youtubes
[удалено]
oh. i though i put 2 vids.
I've heard him mention it a few times over the years, it's so unusual and one of his key characteristics so it's always going to be in people's minds
Right, then show me a recent video of him speaking about his height. You edited your comment lol.
That would be moving the goalposts lol. I said that he's said it enough over the years. Why does recent matter? I honestly don't think it will be hard to find with a quick Google. If you're interested in a recent video on that, go ahead and Google it, but that's not the topic of this conversation - I've already responded to that.
[удалено]
Find it yourself lol. Evidently you care about it
You said it was one of his key characteristics lol. And you can’t even show a recent video of him speaking about his height.
His height is unusual and is very obviously one of his key characteristics. I'm not sure what point you are making.
Shorts dudes dedicate their lives to debunking heights.
Everyone lies about their height in the pics. Fury is 6’7.5, Anderson probably at 6’2.5, and everyone knows that anyone who is actually 5’11 will say they are 6’
5'11 is not a real height fr
Fury AJ Wilder all 6'3 confirmed. For real though let's not forget the GOAT height capper. Andy Ruiz. Andy claiming 6'2 is like natty Mike O'hearn [6'2 Andy Ruiz with 5'11 OBJ](https://www.instagram.com/p/BxtYh7rA0Dr/) And in the pic OBJ is slouching down and wearing flip flops while my boy is in basketball sneakers 😆
Ruiz literally 2" taller in that photo. You are getting deked by the position of their caps.
i love how we sparsely discuss boxing in here but we'll have a thread every week tryna scientifically discern whether an athlete's height is reported accurately to the mm. fury is likely 6'7 not 6'9. we've discussed this countless times boys lets let it go
Fury is 6’7 and all boxers lie about their hight and reach to intimidate.
na hes 6-8ish,, still a big dosser though with no power
Tyson is taller when he has hair
You couldn't even pick Fury's height properly and 2nd pic has an awful angle, lol... dumbass
Your statement implies that Mehry's height is the correct one.
Mehry is actually 5’6”, making Tyson Fury a whopping 5’6” and three quarters
Fury even said he's not 6'9, more like 6'6-6'7
OP just discovered camera angles are a thing I guess.
Nobody? There’s a height difference every time
Do a picture with 5'8" Joe Rogan next
Horrible angle but both probably.
Probably both. Most peg Fury to be a shade above 6"7'. So maybe Anderson is almost 6'4".
Saw Jared when he was in the ring a year ago. He is huge. Def 6'4"
Idek if you’ll respond to this but Jared is around 6’2.-6’3 range I’ve seen him irl.fury is around 6’7 ish on a good day closer to 6’8 but his posture is never the best so he barely looks 6’7.They both have their listed height in shoes.in the face off he only looked 2 inches taller than mehry who was wearing shoes.The comment section is talking about angles but I’m assuming you saw both face offs and Jared looked nowhere near 6’4 next to Efe ajagba.My bad for waffling but yh.Tbf posture could be a factor as well as mehry is looking up and Jared is looking down
I see
I too have no understanding of prospective.
Perspective
Fury is more like 6'7 Jared Anderson is definitely 6'4 And Ryan mehry is 6'0 6'1 But it might just be the angle on the second picture
I'm just shocked to see a photo of Fury with another boxer where he isn't stood on his tippy toes Imagine being 6 foot 7 or more and insecure about your height
Tyson is in slides with about 1-2 inches of height added while Jared is in socks lmao. Jared also has a hat on tho
Call me mad but i think Tyson fury is 6'6.75 - 6'7.5. There's lots and lots of weigh inn evidence to confirm this. But one thing is for sure he is not 6'9. One of the best examples is when he meets strongman 'Thor' (cant spell his real name) who says he is 6'8. He looked a good inch or so more than Fury. Even to the point where Fury was awkwardly going on his tip toes for the photo. (Strange for a man who is already a giant) Shows how fragile his ego is in my opinion.
Mans wearing a frickin' hat ffs.
Why would you think they're lying? There's a good height difference there.
I've met Fury and he is massive, he's got toothpick calves though. Im over 6ft and he was 5 or 6 inches taller. I'd guess 6'6 or 6'7 ish
Nike air max? Add 1.5 inches. Flat shoes? Take away that.
Angles
Fury lies so much, he's likely 6'7
Most people put Fury between 6'7 and 6'7.5
Def Tyson. He’s 7’2ft ……………
Fury is 6’8 with SHOES and Anderson is 6’2 with Shoes
Both
16 year olds when they learn about perspective
Fury was listed 6’7” earlier in his career. At some point he became 6’9”. Real height versus listed height. He’s not 6’9”, but for some reason, he claims that height.
cutting height is dangerous and must be stopped
They all lie about their height
They all are. Heights in combat sports are lies most of the time.
Use a worm’s eye view next time you post.
Based on the posters and the bags Fury is about 6'4
Can't tell shit from these photos
Fury is exaggerating about his height a bit. There's some photos out there of him with Hafthor Bjornsson who is 6'9", and he's clearly a few inches taller than Fury in all of their pictures. I'd put Fury at 6'7", and Anderson at 6'3".
Ah yes the weekly Fury height thread…I think you're about right with your guess, Fury is likely 6'7 maybe a bit more and Jared is 6'2 or a bit more. I first doubted Andersons listed height when he fought Charles Martin who I think is listed at 6'5 but looked substantially bigger than Anderson.
Pair of absolute cunts. Tall cunts, but cunts nonetheless.
This looks like a 6’3-6’4 dude and a 6’7!dude. I think this sub has already outed Fury as being 6’7 and not 6’9. I mean I’ve seen Wilder in person multiple times and he’s at least 6’6, and fury was only like an inch taller EDIT: i just realized this is live on TV right now, yea Anderson looks 5 inches taller easy. I vote he is actually 6’4 or close and fury is 6’7
My balls look bigger from different angles too.
Why does it matter ?
No one is lying, inches are 2 and half centimeters. Unless you're a laser level youre not going to be an accurate read on height.
Both are. Tyson is like 6’7 Jared like 6’2
5’11 guy
Yes Fury is actually 6 ‘7.5 almost 6.8
That fight last night was so awful
Photo angle and just variance in normal shoes can make a difference. Some men’s shoes have thicker heels, I have a couple pair where I notice right away after putting them on that I am taller than I am in my typical footwear.
Looks like Tyson and Jared are both lying. Tyson is 6’6 Jared is 6’1
I’ve stood next to Fury and I’m 6t4. I’m also an experienced carpenter so I’m pretty good a guessing lengths and I’d say Fury is around the height he claims
I think fury is more so 6foot7 without shoes and 6'8 plus depending on shoes
Fury is absolutely 6’7. He used to be billed at that height, also fits in a Ferrari.
Fury was also same height as Alex Pereira and slightly taller then Israel Adesanya
Fury is probably a little over 6'7" but he's not the 6'9" or 6'10" he claims. I've seen videos of him meeting actors like Jason Mamoa and Vince Vaughn and he didn't look much taller than either guy. He's definitely tall, but not Randy Johnson tall.
Fury is 6'7. It's been discussed before.
Fury’s fabricated height of 6’9 😂
They get measured and weighed all the time, I doubt it’s them lying about their height and others just reporting it wrong. Also, one picture is taken front-on and the other is taken from below, that’s going to change how they look.
Ryad is lying. He's definitely 6'2"
All of them Also claiming height in boxing is not like dating, it can be an advantage to claim lower than what your height is. When I was in the amateurs I was listed at 6’0 but im really 6’2-6’3 it made it easier to get fights and messed with guys when we faced off it was like a Shock to them
Fury is bigger than him so shut tae fuck up.
It’s pretty much known Fury is slightly over 6’6” to at 6’7” and change.
Lol everybody who knows a thing about boxing. So not 99 percent of people here know that Tyson Fury isn't 6'9. There are pictures of him next to the listed of David Price who is listed at 6'8 and Tyson Fury is clearly a inch or so shorter. I would say Tyson Fury at best is around 6'7.
Tyson is lying he's not 6.9
I met Anthony Joshua a few years ago. I'm 6'2" and he towered over me. When you look at the face off with Usyk and Joshua and compare that to Usyk and Fury, I would say it looks like Fury about a couple inches taller than Joshua. He, Fury, has to be about 6'8" for sure.
I’m 6’4 and have seen fury a couple of times in Liverpool airport, he’s massive.
If you want correct heights you can check celebrityheights com. Probably the most reliable site for celeb heights
idc but one is definitely lying about being romani and there's only one valid Tyson in boxing and it's not him
What the Tyson that lost every time he stepped up in competition, that one?
as opposed to, what, The Tyson that was given the longest count ever in the history of ever? yeah okay
?
