Season 4: #26 Frank Stallone

Boxing Life Stories - A podcast by Tris Dixon

Frank Stallone has been involved with boxing his whole life. From mimicking a Jack Dempsey haircut when he was 10 to knowing and forming friends with legends of the sport, including Muhammad Ali, Dempsey himself, Jimmy McLarnin, Vinny Paz, Ike Williams and many more. Yes, his ultra-famous brother Sylvester made more headlines, but Frank has had a superb career in his own right and boxing has never been far from it. He penned music for the Rocky franchise and here shares thoughts and memories of the movies, talks in great depth about boxing history and the memorabilia he's collected, what it was like being ringside for the big fights in Philadelphia in the 1970s and much more. There are stories from his career as a musician and actor but it's his love of boxing that shines through in this entertaining, funny and timeless interview.
