Dolph Lundgren Worn Boxing Shorts Trunks Training as Ivan Drago Rocky IV – COA

Description

Presented is a pair of Everlast boxing shorts that were owned/worn by Dolph Lundgren. These red silky shorts show heavy wear from sweat/age and storage with staining and a hole present. They feature the EVERLAST logo on the front waistband in black with size flap (L).  Most noteworthy, is that Lundgren played the role of Ivan Drago in which he trained heavily in boxing for the film Rocky IV. Presumably, these were used in the process of preperation for the iconic movie. This is concluded because they were obtained with several other of Lundgren’s personal items which included Rocky related memorabilia in an auction. You will also find Lundgren’s movie worn boots (vs. Apollo Creed) and shorts (vs. Rocky) showcased in this current auction.

Dolph Lundgren is a Swedish actor, filmmaker, and martial artist. Lundgren made his acting debut in 1985 with a cameo in the James Bond film A View to a Kill. Also that year, he had his breakthrough in Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky IV, in which he played the lead villain as the imposing Soviet boxer Ivan Drago.

In the film Rocky IV, Rocky Balboa (played by Sylvester Stallone) accompanies his friend Apollo Creed to the ring in a boxing match against a Russian Boxer named Ivan Drago (played by Lundgren). Drago is too strong for Creed, and unfortunately kills him in his match. Balboa blames himself for Creed’s death and is determined to defeat Drago in a boxing match. He gains the help of Creed’s former manager, Duke and travels to U.S.S.R. to take on Drago. Rocky then faces the ultimate challenge and fights for his life. Ultimately, Rocky is victorious in a grueling battle with the Russian fighter.
