Mike Tyson's Height
5ft 10 (177.8 cm)
American former World Heavyweight Boxing Champion. In 2005 he said "I measured myself as 5ft 10in....I'm a f****** dwarf!" and again in 2013, "I'm only a small guy, I'm five foot ten" and has also claimed "I was 5'10 1/2".

He was coming there to intimidate me but I was like, 'You're 5ft 5in and I'm 6ft 5in — this is ridiculous.

I think Mike was 5’10.25 in his peak, and nowadays he’s between 5’9.5-5’9.75.

Rob do you see a current and peak listing for him? And also since he lost some height what do you see him at 5'9 ¾? 5'9 ½? 5'9 ⅜?

Mike with 5'11" Jake Paul:

Jake does look at least an inch taller, so Tyson does appear close to 5'10" in this photo, granted footwear can't be seen here. Tyson is almost 60, but not everyone loses noticeable height in their 50's. Some people retain it very well, like Senior Bush.

In my opinion he seemed at best 5'9.5 last time i saw him. I think its about time to give him peak and current listing. Peak could be 5'10 1/4.

@Rob would this seem accurate for his prime. Like a solid 5'10 afternoon-evening, and measures a quarter or a third under 5'10 at his absolute lowest?

How much height can one lose after a boxing match? I know dehydration is important.

Editor RobYou could shrink to an extreme low, especially if towards the evening already when the match takes place, so maybe in some cases a 1/4 inch less than your normal low.
Canson said on 19/Nov/24
Yea he looks smaller these days. Maybe 5’9” but i doubt any less and not even sure he’s as low as solid 5’9”

My list of some various boxers height on this site (that I feel confident enough to judge) would be:
Tyson Fury 6’7
Vitali Klitschko 6’6.75 or just under (has a 2 m height quote that was converted to even numbered feet and inches hence the 6’7 figure.)
Deontay Wilder 6’6 (an inch shorter than Fury)
Audley Harrison 6’5.25 (looks a little taller than Lennox Lewis.)
Joe Joyce 6’5.25” (has a 197 cm height quote but could be a morning height, same height as AJ.)
Anthony Joshua 6’5.25” (billed as 6’6 but that is because he got the usual almost one inch upgrade common in pro boxing.)
Wladimir Klitschko 6’4.75 (billed as 195 cm in the olympics)
Lennox Lewis somewhere btw 6’4.5-6’4.75
Otto Wallin 6’4.5 or just under ~ 194 cm (what he was billed as here in Sweden before he turned pro. Looks a little shorter than AJ in photos.)
Francis Ngannou 6’4 (the only guy on this list who is actually as tall as the height he is billed. Could even be 6’4.25.)
Daniel Dubois 6’3.5 (billed as 6’4.5 but probably got the usual one inch add. Looks nowhere near that.)
George Foreman 6’2.75-6’3 (looks roughly the same height as measured by the marines-Ken Norton. Close to an inch taller than Ali.
Muhammad Ali 6’2-6.2.25 (self reported. If he would be taller he would have said just under 6’3.)
Oleksandr Usyk 6’2 (4 cms shorter than Dubois.)
David Haye 6’1.25 (roughly four inches shorter than Audley Harrison.)
Mike Tyson 5’10.5 (Was reported as 5’11.5 and 6’ so got the classic one inch upgrade.)

@Alex 6’5 and Grayloth: he was 5’10” peak. May still be. I met him and he was 5’10” then in 2009-10. But Roy jones Jr was 5’10,5 peak and he edged Tyson by a hair and I believe Tyson or jones acknowledged that

He lost only an inch through age. Not bad because in his prime he was definitely closer to 5'11. He's still going to kick Jake Paul's butt and Jake better hope Tyson goes easy on him otherwise he'll end up like Marvis Frazier.

@Darksol and Guy from Poland: he was a solid enough 5’10” in the late 2000s or early 2010s but if you see him with Roy Jones there’s a slight difference so I’m not so sure he’s 5’10 1/2” when Jones is only about that height. Jones was listed 5’10.5”. So I think this listing is fair. Maybe today he’s losing height but close enough. I’ve seen other pics Rob has where a celeb looks shorter than they ordinarily would

Rob has already said many times that the picture does favor Tyson, so yeah, he certainly looks over 5'10 here, but I doubt he really was (outside of morning time). If we're talking about a low mark or so, I can buy 5'9.75-5'10, but no more.

@Guy from Poland:
Fully agree. Even in the pic with Rob, you can easily see that his head is more than 2 inches above Rob's and he had likely lost at least 1/4 inch from peak height there. Honestly he looks like he would be 5'11 in the pic if he straightened his head, maybe Rob was losing posture?
Got to be the strongest 5'10 listing on the site regardless.
He's obviously not insecure about height at all, as he has no problem calling himself a "dwarf" when in reality he's got an inch over the average guy. Probably saying he's a dwarf compared to the 6'5 guys he had boxed in his day.
I think the full 5'10 1/2 he claimed is quite possible and Rob should consider a 1/4 upgrade if not the full 1/2.

Mike looks a good 2 inches taller than 5’8.25 Rob.
Mike looks 178.5 cm in the picture. I guess his peak height was 5’10.5 or 5’10 3/8, and nowadays 178 cm flat.

Photos of Mike Tyson next to Sugar Ray Leonard from 2012 really show that Mike was over 5ft 10. Here is another photo: Click Here
I can accept 5ft 10.25 for Mike as his peak height, although I also see a chance for 5ft 10.5 but I think 1/4 inch over 5ft 10 suits both Mike and King Charles. However, I wonder about the height of the leader of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, he is listed on the Internet as 5ft 9. Here is a photo of him with Mike from 2005: Click Here
Rob, if we assume Mike was 5ft 10.25, did Kadyrov look like a real 5ft 9 with him?

5’10 flat for Mike seems about correct, Rob who do you think would have measured taller between Rocky Marciano and Mike Tyson? I’ve seen listings for both of them at 5’10, 5’10.5 and 5’11. But I’ve also heard claims that Marciano was a 5’9 range guy who liked to add an inch or two to his claim. Marciano never looked over 5’10 to me.

He walked by me fairly close with a couple of security guys at a boxing show back in 2006, he glanced at me as he walked by and was eye to eye level with me in regular black dress shoes, which is what I was wearing also. I'm a hair over 5'10,he was my height from what I saw. Broad shouldered with pretty good posture (at the time) so he can appear taller. Can appear 5'11+ but don't think he is quite that tall. Probably about 177cms nowadays with age.

@5'10-Abdul.
5'10 is best height for light to middleweight, most of fighters are at that range as well. For heavyweight I'd say 6'2+ is good. To carry all that mass.

@Berta: not sure if he’s lost height from his prime but if he did, I don’t rule that out completely or even a hair over. He surely looked 5’10 when I met him in the late 2000s. He easily looks over it with Rob but that happens sometimes

always looked a legit 5´10. I think he can look 179 to alot of people in person and if he claimed 5´11 most people would believe it ( except from all us guys from celebheight ). I think he measured 5´10 1/8 to be exact.

5’10 - 5’10.5 in his prime (In some of his earlier pro bouts he’s listed at his real height of 5’10). I believe he’s shrunk to 5’9.5 now.

Looks like he could be a little over 5'10 with Rob straightened up.
I absolutely believe his claim that he "was" 5'10.5. No doubt about that.
I like his playful attitude calling himself a dwarf. Even though 5'10 is a touch above average, his standards are so high from fighting hard to become a world champion 5'10 is nothing, from his POV. It also shows his self confidence, not exaggerating his height whatsoever. Downplaying it if anything.
Going to give 5'10.25 to Mike.

I have a question, Rob - if we assume Mike was 5ft 10.25 (I believe that he was that mark), how would you rate Erdogan's height in these shots? He looks about 2.5 inches taller than Mike to me.

5'10.25/5'10.5 peak isn't impossible.
He was certainly what you'd call a very solid 5'10 so likely was a touch over it, given he still looks 5'10 today at 56 when he's likely lost a small fraction would likely add to that theory.

5'10, or slightly under it ( Tyson is nowadays) doesn't come off as tall when you have Mike's stocky proportions.
Also A legit 5'10" is not tall nowadays for most white and black males my age, no way actually.
7/10 of my Friends are over 5'10, Some of which are even Hispanic and are factually over 5'10.

@Canson In the picture with Rob, he looks right around 5'10, the lowest he could ever be is 5'9 7/8, but i feel that's probably a bit too low. I guess the footwear here were about the same between them. I think when you met him, he was at age when he hasn't lost anything yet. Tyson is quite fit and a genetic anomaly, he is a beast so i doubt really he had lost anything when you met him, as i guess you met him before Rob.
There is a good chance of a solid 178 cm for him.

@Rob When you met Mike do you think at most he could have been a couple of mm shorter than peak and i assume around 5'10.25 range is the most he could have been at peak you would say? Do you see a chance of him and Frazier being the same height? I do agree that Frazier seemed slightly taller generally.

It’s kind of hard to tell with Mike, from what I’ve seen he might be 5’9 and a half or so, he probably looks a lot bigger just because… well…he’s a big dude, I mean Tysons neck is 20’ in circumference alone, and his hands are the size of a male toddlers skull, most people who are 5’9 don’t have As large proportions in retrospect,so it’s hard to pin point, does it really matter though?
5’8 or 5’11 doesn’t matter the guy is an absolute unit either way haha

Hey Rob,
A person’s physique and build can deceive height appearance for the untrained eye but don’t think it’s possible he could still be 5’10.5 by afternoon and shrinks to 1/4?

I have a question Rob, do you take in account morning height or evening height when you measure people in your page? And what do you think is the correct height to give when you're asked how tall you are? I measure myself frequently, both in the morning, in the afternoon and midnight. I'm 6'2 1/2 (1,89) when I get up from bed and 6'1 1/4 (1,86) when I go back to bed. Every time people ask me about my height I say I'm 6'2 1/2 barefoot, mostly because I think that's the real height, which shrinks with gravity along the day, and because it's the practical height. Also, that's because more or less, the height you lose because of gravity is gained with shoes latter (I'm 6'3 aprox with shoes).

I think he's a solid 5'10" in the evening. If you measures him earlier in the day he could get 5'10.5" - 5'10.75" depending how early. I'm talking about his prime but if he's lost height since then I doubt it's anything significant.

Those Combine measurements and NFL Measurements are morning measurements. Arguing 3/8" makes no sense, my overall point was Suge doesn't look 6'2 or 6'2 and " 3/8" With Mr. Tyson. He looks shorter.

I've got to give you kudos, Rob, for getting that close to young Mr. Tyson. One of the strongest humans on Earth, violent by profession, trained to injure people, an ex-con and a sufferer from manic depression. I'm not going anywhere near a man like that. I'd be worried about losing an ear.
Five foot ten is not a dwarf, even metaphorically. I'm not scared of dwarfs, provided they don't have firearms or the protection of large friends.

I saw that Picture as well, if Tyson is 5'10",Suge is only 6'1ish which would be a shock.
Suge was listed in the NFl at 6'2", so Honestly I would not think he would be taller than that but I would not have guessed as low as 6'1", But Tyson makes him look that.

I remember when they used to announce him at 5'11 1/2" for his fights, clearly using an early morning shoe height. The half inch thing is tricky as it makes u think of barefoot heights. They did the same with Holyfield etc.

Mike's apparently going to box Lennox Lewis later in the year. Is Mike going to keep fighting until he no longer has teeth to bite anyone, even if he wants to? Logan Paul is set to face Floyd Mayweather Jr. in June. Strange times. Boxing's "New Normal". Foreman vs Holmes, anyone? Legends from the 70s who are now actually in their 70s. Some nice prospective work on the horizon for the sprightly Michael Buffer. He might've forgotten a lot of things over his many years but he really only has to remember his iconic 5 word phrase, "Let's get ready...." He built the brand and now it's easy money.

You can never be sure but I think there's a fair measure of visual evidence to argue for no more than 5'10" flat for Mike's prime and perhaps even a touch less. As Tyson stands now it might be supposed that Mike has lost some height but it's possible that he has lost very little if at all.

I think there was less than an inch between them, but like other folks here I would give Roy the edge, I think .5 to .75 inches. I have met Roy in person (great guy by btw) and I thought he looked 5'10.5, this was about 5 years ago.

Watching the exhibition I got the feeling that Mike had to reign himself in lest he accidentally KO Roy.
Rather than pull his each and every punch (difficult for Tyson, LOL), I think Mike sometimes simply didn't punch to avoid an accidental single shot or two KO. To that end, he put in some considerate work to Roy's body but he might've accidentally broke Roy in half anyway. Those body shots were audibly hard and the resulting discomfort on Roy's face said it all. Mike easily "won" the fight but a "draw" was fine in the spirit of the exhibition.
Relatively speaking, a nice, controlled display by Tyson but put in proper perspective, it was against an older, well worn version of a naturally smaller Roy Jones.

I'd give Jones an edge, but at times could look pretty close.

Finally they face off. Mike 220 lbs. Roy 210 lb. Both in socks standing straight enough. Perfect.

For mine, Roy taller by a few cigarette papers. Otherwise, very close to even. Interesting when guys like Roy, who once carried a high end physique, go somewhat to pot as they age, even more than the average bear. Of course the consequences of steroid usage can also be a factor.
I know with some sports people, the intensity of their time training as a professional actually works as aversion therapy in late life. Training of any form is the last thing they want to do after they've retired or have become semi active in their chosen sport. IMO, as far training goes, it seems middle of the road steadily maintained is best for the long haul of your whole life.

@Animus, that’s your opinion. But it’s a fact that Tyson was below average in terms of height and mass for a heavyweight and probably even more so for a heavyweight champion. We’re splitting hairs over what is considered “below average” and what is considered “small” or “tiny”.

@Animus whether someone is big or small varies based on height and weight. A guy like Tyson, who’s 220-230 at only 5’10 is a big guy. A guy like who’s 6’2-3 but only about 170 would be considered a big guy

Nah, it's just factually incorrect to describe Tyson as 'tiny' even for a heavyweight. Size is more closely linked to weight/lean body mass than height. A 5'8 guy who is in shape and weighs around 200lbs is bigger than a 6'0 guy who weighs, say, 155lbs. Height is obviously not irrelevant to size, it's a component of size, but lean body mass is a more important metric of size, in my opinion. We do have a bit of a verticality bias, I suppose, but if you look at it geometrically, out of three dimensions, two of them are more closely linked to mass and one equals the person's height. Increasing one of those two dimensions will result in a larger volume than increasing the height dimension by the same amount.
Fair enough that you didn't intend anything offensive, but in common parlance it's universally quite offensive when used to refer to people.
You're reaching badly with that comparison. While all things 'giant' are 'massive', not all things 'massive' are 'giant'. So you're argument is fallacious.

@Animus, “tiny” is a relative term. While somebody may be larger than average it is irrelevant outside of group being referenced. You seem to be projecting your own insecurities onto the word. While I agree that “tiny” can be used in a offensive manner it was not my intention to be derogatory.
On the contrary, “giant” and other adjectives the can be offensive too. Should I accuse you of being disrespectful since you called Tyson’s neck “massive”?
Tyson referred to himself as a “dwarf” because he knew he was small for a man in his sport.

He was not "tiny" by any stretch of the imagination. That's a joke; you must, quite frankly, know next to nothing about the sport of boxing. In his prime Tyson carried 215-220lbs in an athletic frame (meaning with little body fat and well-proportioned; unlike many bodybuilders who have outsized arms or other features incommensurate with their overall frame). In what universe is that "tiny"? For a heavyweight back then that was a very respectable weight. Tyson was considerably shorter than the average heavyweight (I'd say the average was 6'2 or so; most heavyweights back then fell into the 6'1-6'3 range), that is true, but in terms of girth and skeletal structure he was absolutely a legitimate heavyweight. Tyson has a big head with a pronounced brow ridge and strong facial bone structure, he had a massive neck helpful for absorbing blows with minimal damage, a compact, muscular frame, big legs suitable for generating power and stability, and he even had big feet (again indicative of a large frame). While it's true height plays a factor in determining weight class placement, lean body mass is arguably a more important metric to consider and Tyson certainly qualified as a heavyweight on that count.
Furthermore, one should never call another person "tiny". It's disrespectful and frankly a rather inane comment to make about another human being. And... could you pick a worse person to call 'tiny'?
@Realist
Tyson has said that he's ~230lbs these days. Roy Jones Jr said on Joe Rogan's podcast that he weighs 210lbs. Keep in mind, though, that Tyson is not only heavier but also leaner than Jones Jr.

Just based on the vision below, it seems to me Smith appears clearly taller, certainly more than the 1/4" diff. suggested by this site's separate listings. At about the 41 sec mark Will is leaning forward, neck bowed a bit and still looking taller. Smith wore an array of Nike shoes throughout the series, these would've given Will some added advantage over those in average heel. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything else to compare Will and Evander head to head.

Interesting that Evander H. appears more than just 3 and a bit inches taller than Mike in a lot of photos. I think Rob highlighted this before. Even with angles etc. in play, an apparent 3+" is curiously consistent. Posture wise I would give Evander the edge on Mike. Maybe in civilian gear Holyfield wears a bit more heel than Mike. Not sure. I've never really seen Mike wear anything beyond a modest heel.
