I don't think he actually had one.

the fight with Apollo was an exhibition fight and then Rocky was stripped of his licence I believe when he agreed to fight him in Russia

Wasn’t the fight with Apollo Drago’s first professional fight?

Impressive performance nonetheless.

No Drago didn’t have a licence. It was purely an exhibition fight. 


Here’s one for all you Rocky enthusiasts who want to learn what came of Drago. Well according to Stallone he got hooked on booze and steroids before taking his own life.

But Drago is back in Creed 2 

He’s back as a Universal Soldier

From Rockypedia (Yes that exists)

Drag is also an infantry Captain in the Soviet Army and was a recipient of the Hero of the Soviet Union award.

What a load of baloney!  And why would you turn up to press conferences wearing it for a boxing match?Confused

Chris Waddle used to work in a sausage factory but disn't do England press conferences wearing a butchers outfit.

Drago is the biggest pantomime villain since Sergeant Slaughter even though he predates Slaughter.

It's a little known yet widely known fact that Sly Stallone was married to Ivan Drago's missus.  No wonder he wanted to kill Rocky.

Didn't even think that was possible.  Probably those performance enhancing drugs from her Soviet swimming days.

She was 22 in Rocky IV

''Russians INVADE US sports' was the headline on some sports magazine in Rocky IV

Rocky could be guilty of stoking up anti Russian feeling and making them out to be the aggressors and evil side.


Rocky's gaff changes from rocky III to IV to V even though itssupposed to be the same gaff

How did Adrian not know? I mean there was a presser. These things take planning and can’t just happen at drop of a hat.

I think I’m being too critical of this masterpiece however.
