Sylvester Stallone chats to Gloria Hunniford about his new movie, Rocky 3 - which he claims is the most personal film he has made to date.

Since then, his life - and the life of his character Rocky Balboa - has changed dramatically. How is he coping with his new found fame and fortune? What lessons has he learned from Rocky 1 to Rocky 3?
Sylvester Stallone is joined by former British, Commonwealth and European heavyweight champion Henry Cooper, who discusses memorably knocking down a young Muhammed Ali in 1963, and addresses recent calls by the British Medical Association for boxing to be banned.
