Height, Weight & Measurements

Sean O'Haire stood at an impressive height of 6 feet 6 inches (198 cm) and weighed around 270 pounds (122 kg) during his wrestling career. His athletic build contributed significantly to his on-screen persona, making him one of the larger-than-life characters in the wrestling industry.

On August 17, 2007, Haire was scheduled to fight Mark Kerr at the Mohegan Sun Arena for the Global Fighting Championships promotion but the entire card was canceled after four of the eight scheduled bouts fell through. No explanation was given at that time, regarding the cancellation, only a guarantee of a full refund.

It was revealed by GFC representative Joel Parker that half of the night's fights were called off, prompting the decision to nix the card rather than put on a lackluster event. Parker revealed that several fighters were disqualified for either failing to meet their contracted weight or for medical reasons.

Kerr and Edwin Dewees were pulled from the card by the overseeing athletic commission for missing weight. According to commission doctors, Kerr registered an unhealthy blood pressure reading the day prior. Kerr was set to fight Haire.
