Legendary boxing matches – Legendary boxers: The tallest boxer of all time

Author: Zizi

There are matches, which are never to be forgotten, and there are boxing icons, who are going to stay with us for eternity.

In professional boxing size is not everything, but if we look at the tallest boxer of all time, his measurements are more than impressive. The tallest boxer of all time was Goaga Stephen, who was working for a circus company when an Italian boxer thought he could be a good boxer as well. Stephen at this time referred to himself as a monster because of his size.

Stephen’s ring name was Gogea Mitu and he had only two professional boxing fights and he won both of them via KO, because his opponents could not beat his physical advantages. Mitu was 225 cm tall, weighed 150 kg and his reach was 236 cm, which was pretty useful for his jabs. Unfortunately, he died of tuberculosis before his 27th birthday.
