The Brawler
The real fight behind Rocky.
Bayonne, New Jersey. Chuck Wepner was slinging liquor when he got the call: fifteen rounds against the heavyweight champion of the world, Muhammad Ali. He trained past his limits to go toe to toe with the greatest fighter of all time.
His heroic battle with Ali — the bout that inspired Rocky Balboa — was only the beginning of a wild ride from the lows of New Jersey to the highs of Hollywood.
