“I got really injured during the fight,” the 75-year-old action star revealed. “I had to be flown into intensive care to California from Canada.”

Stallone recently posted The Making Of Rocky Vs. Drago video to his YouTube, saying that filming the fourth instalment of his popular sports drama – which he directed – almost killed him.
