In 1981, 5 years after winning the world heavyweight championship against Apollo Creed, Rocky Balboa has had a string of ten successful title defenses, and his fame, wealth, and celebrity profile have increased.

He explains that Lang is young, powerful and "hungry"; by contrast, Rocky is "civilized" and no longer has the stamina and strength to fight a boxer of Lang's caliber.

Lang and Rocky meet at Philadelphia's Spectrum on August 15, 1981.
