Description:
Chuck Wepner was born on February 26, 1939 in New York City, New York, USA. He is known for his work on The Real Rocky (2011), WrestleMania XV (1999) and Ali 70 from Las Vegas (2012).

In Praise of Muhammad Ali (22 person items)" "The day of the Ali fight I bought my wife a powder blue negligee and told her 'wear this tonight, 'cause you'll be sleepin' with the heavyweight champion of the world'. That night, when I got back to the room, she said: 'Do I go to his room or will he be coming to mine?'"."
