I'd say 6'8 as every photo with David Price hrle looks identical height (listed 6'8 on Boxrec, 6'8.5 by Sky, 6'9 by himself, 6'10 by Anthony Joshua).
I think in the morning Fury clears 6'8 so rounds up to 6'9.
Whatever the actual height, he's in the 95th percentile so its basically academic to debate someone of that stature's height ... literally.

In Moke's photo Fury looks 6'8 for sure. I think Rob has been a bit mean on Tyson here ... an upgrade of some sort seems due!

I agree a flat 6'7" appears just a bit too low. Wlad is a strong 6'5" guy who wears lifts on occasion. In that particular photo I'd say you could see 2.5" between them, which puts Fury at a weak 6'8". I think Anything between 6'7.25" and 6'7.75" looks his range, I'd split the difference and call him 6'7.5" personally.

His height can vary a bit, he's obviously not 6'9, but I wonder if 6'7 flat is a tad low.
At times he could look a solid 2 inches taller than Wlad, but then in the pre-fight stare-down looked barely taller, maybe WK's footwear was dodgy that evening.
He is somewhere between 6'7 and 6'7.5 barefoot IMO.

Con Sheehan is billed 6'5 but nevertheless Fury's probably a bit over 201 cm, that is 6'7.25 or so...He's definitely off the "yard"-stick.
Click Here - could imagine this one was taken without Klitschkos special "insoles" or whatever he put into his trainers.

Sheehan was at 6'5.5" on boxrec but yes, only 6'5" in some other places.
Next to Wladimir in that picture he's looking north of 6'7" flat honestly. Could argue he's pushing 6'8" in that, but somewhere between 7 and 8 is what I think he looks there.

If Fury is 6'7" I think that makes Con Sheehan noticeably shorter than his billed 6'5.5" on boxrec. I'd say there's a clear 3" between them in that photo. Makes me think Fury could well be in the 202 cm range.

Good estimates The Exorcist.
I've been around almost all these boxing guys you have listed bar David Price All big guys to be sure and all a little exaggerated.
Briggs though is off. He's a big broad 6'3+. Haye describing him as 6'5 should indicate he's not 6'2.
Tyson Fury looked identical height to Price in their amateur fight and he was only 17.
I have a few photos posing with Hughie and he looks 6'5 rather than 6'6.

Fury looked a solid 6'8 next to Wlad in Yesterday's press conference in Manchester.
Clear now Wlad was packing heavy duty lifts in the first fight when at the weigh in he was taller than him SMH.

If you look at todays press conference they stand side by side and in fairness Fury did look a fair bit taller, at least 2 inches. This shows Wlad was definitely wearing lifts at the weigh in from first fight where they were virtually the same height. I think Fury might not be too far away from his 6'9'' claim which I have previously doubted.

6'7'' is a joke. He has at least 5cm on Deontay Wilder. He is clearly much taller than his cousin Hughie, who is 6'6''. Is this estimate based on the Klitschko promotional conferences where Klitschko was wearing lifts? He is at least 6'8.5''

In an interview with Wlad before the title fight they asked how he was training to prepare for a 6ft 9 opponent, i thought his response was interesting. . .
"He’s actually not as tall as people say, surprisingly. I’ve been at the press conference with him and I thought he was kind of the size of Mariusz Wach [6ft 7 1/2ins]. . . . Statistics say whatever but in reality he is not as much of a giant as statistics say. In this fight, I’m the smaller guy though."

Wearing lifts for a large man can be troublesome. I had a bad Achilles tendon a few years ago. I was then an honest 6'4" in my bare feet. But my doctor prescribed lifts to help raise my heel and take the pressure off it.. I tried many different types. Finally I tried a pair I found as one of the advertisers on this web site. When I wore them I was 6'7". It was wonderful. I felt great - psychologically. But they threw my back out. I could only wear them for about twenty minutes. I imagine some other guys habituate to these things better than I did. But if Klitschko or Fury is really much shorter and is supposed to have donned lifts just for this weigh-in I'm skeptical. Maybe it's different for shorter guys but when I put them on they really screwed up my posture. I'd be afraid to wear the big ones again. Also when I lived in San Francisco I used to see a lot of transsexual men on the street dressed up like women (San Francisco's that kind of place). There would be these tall mostly black men wearing skin tight dresses and high heels. Believe me they walked funny. They could barely keep upright. I think women have to practice to wear heels and of course they are much shorter. So again from the evidence of the weigh-in both these guys seemed comfortable on their feet. I don't think there were any lifts.

He's probably similar in size to Vitaly. at most he may be a bit north (1/4-1/2" like CreepX said. Maybe a 6'7 guy who would wake close to 6'8 in the morning and would measure maybe 2" higher than Wlad.

The Exorcist: You must also take the shoes into acount. WIlder had flat boxing shoes, and Fury probably more heels to him. But I think he's still sligthly taller. Some sources claim WIlder to be 6''6' 1/2 so Fury would be sligthly north of 6''7' My best guess.

In the fight Fury looked no more than 2" taller than Wlad. It's funny - both of these guys have been quoted talking about the other not being as big as they try to appear. Wladimir saying that Fury is not as big as everyone says he is claiming that Fury is the same height as Mariusz Wach. Then Fury said Wlad was wearing lifts in order to be eye to eye with him at the weigh in.
In reality, even though he claims he's 4" taller than Wlad I'd be shocked if Fury was any more than 2.5" taller than Wlad. 1.75" - 2" is an even a safer bet. I do believe Fury and his brother might be on to something with their fervorous accusations of Wlad wearing lifts. But those lifts would have to be pretty freakin' big to boost him up 3.5" - 4". And I believe he was wearing trainers. You can't fit something that big in trainers.
So Fury in my estimation probably goes at minnimum 200 cm. More likely 201. But the only way he's 205 cm range is if Wlad is - at bare minimum - a 199 cm guy barefooted.

According to Tyson Fury's cousin Hughie, Wladimir was wearing lifts that day so he can look taller next to Tyson during their staredown, hence why there was only an inch difference between the two.

Having seen dozens of pictures and lots video footage of tyson
with other celebs and boxers it's clear he's around 6'7.
That is very tall. Why bother adding the extra 2 inches on?

6'5 is low for Wlad , trust me . He probably wakes up at a solid 1.98-1.99 and later douring the day measures like1.97 . Hes the definition of a very strong 6'5 guy , and pretty much everybody his height would just say they are 6'6 ..

People get it wrong when they compare Tyson with Wlad because they underestimate the Ukranian's height. I've met Wlad myself and he's definetely somewhere in the 6'6 - 6'7 range. 6'5 is just nonsense, trust me.
So, with Wlad a tad under 6'7 I can easily see Tyson being a solid 6'8.

Even if Wlad wore lifts in the pre-fight pics, there's no way there's anything like a 4" height difference between the two of them. It's not like he could stuff 4" worth of lifts into those running shoes he had on. Fury is not more than 2" taller than Wlad. Which would mean that at most, he's around 6'7.25".

Having a look at Tyson fury in pics with Deontay Wilder I would have thought closer to 6'8 however when pictured with Vladimir he does seem more 6'7 - 6'7.5, Rob do you think 6'7.5 is more accurate, I think he is a fraction more than 6'7, closer to 6'7.5 IMO.

Fury and 6'7 Deontay Wilder are very close in height, a legit stare-down between those two would confirm if Fury is over 6'7 or not.

Most fighter get listed an inch above there height plus you never know he may maybe one of those people who measured in shoes or in the morning and rounds it up if he was say 6'8.5 in shoes. And if he is not using a stadiometer to measure is height he could get an inaccurate measuring. So it is possible for him to be 6'9 with some thick shoes on lol. But he did look the bigger guy in the ring than in the weigh in where it did appear that Vlad may have had something in his shoes so there is something to be said about that.

Bizarre that a 6'5'' to 6'6'' guy like Wlad would chose to wear lifts but appears this happened. Didn't help him in the ring though.

This proves that Wlad was wearing lifts in the pics before the fight. TF may not be 6-9, but 6-8 certainly seems pretty close.

Incredible victory by Fury against the odds. Fury did look taller than Wlad during the fight unlike at the weigh in so I would not rule out Wlad wearing lifts for this. Hughie Fury who I believe is Tyson's cousin said this and was mocked for saying so. I don't believe that Tyson is the full 6'9'' however and think the downgraded height is more realistic.

Well done rob. I think 6'7" is probably about right. Still a very tall man. Wlad said he is 6'7 1/2" so that supports it too.
Anyone see the fight and can comment on the more important aspect ( to us he he ) of height disparity between the two ?

Rob do you think any boxers have ever worn lifts in a pre-fight stare down before as physiological advantage?
Sometimes Floyd Mayweather would look taller in stare downs in footwear than he would at the barefoot weigh in which did make me wonder, and the same can be said for Wlad at times.

At the weigh-in Tyson had 0.5" on Wlad although in the weeks before there were roughly 2ins between them so Klitschko wore lifts (might be really a psychological ploy).
Tonight we'll see there is a 1.75" difference.
Anyway the pics with Wilder support this theory.

In that full body shot they look basically the same height. Maybe a slight advantage to Fury, but if Wlad is only 6,5.5" then there is no way Fury is 6,8".
In most photos of them together Fury looks to have the same advantage over Wlad as Vitali does. Definitely think a downgrade to 6,7" is necessary.
Don't know where Fury got the idea from that he is 6,9". I have not seen a single photo of piece of footage to suggest he is anywhere near that.

At the weigh in they were the same height. Was this a psychological ploy by Wlad, wearing lifts to unsettle Fury or are they the same height in reality? I actually thought Fury looked surprised to be staring eye to eye with Wlad as he was expecting to be the bigger man.

Editor Rob I checked back and saw Fury was being called 6ft 7 as an amateur boxer, as a pro he seems to have added some height. I think 6ft 7 is probably more realistic.

Those look like normal runners Wlad has on, though they seem to have more of a platform than Fury's shoes. I can't see Wlad's shoes giving much more than an inch and they are going to make up a 2.75 inch height difference, if it exists.
Aside from that photo, Fury hasn't looked to have 3 inches on Wlad throughout the build-up to tomorrow.

I've always wondered where these heights come from. If Fury has been measured during a medical and told he was 6'9'' that is fair enough. Or is it just a guess based on being taller than almost anyone else. I think 6'8'' is a good estimate. Wlad himself though has been said to be anywhere from 6'5'' to 6'7''. He has said he is 6'5'' but his official website gives his height as 6'6.5'' which seems more accurate. I think that many men believe themselves to be taller than they are as they have never been accurately measured. I'm about 5'11'' and know someone about my height who claims to be 6'1''. This in my experience is not un usual.

If we take into account the pic of 199.5cms Helenius and Wladimir even a flat 6' 5" is possible for Klitschko (as he himself admits).. so I can hardly agry with anything over 6' 7" for this guy.
But no matter how tall he really is he'll punish

In the pic with Wladimir he looks 6' 8" (if Klitschko is 196cms) though Fury is nearer to the camera. I think 203cms is to generous.
