I rather dislike how those press releases always pull size figures out of thin air. Of course it’s annoying that people believe them so readily, but its the reporter’s fault that they never research what they write. And that even though it is so obviously wrong. It doesn’t take elaborate measurements to realise there is no way Lythronax is as big as a large Daspletosaurus.
This 9m figure from the media would have made people believe Lythronax and Siats were the same size (because at about the same time one was massively overestimated while the other was massively underestimated), while the latter must have been 3-4 times heavier!
