In a photo taken Wednesday, April 26, 2017, former boxer Chuck Wepner talks to The Associated Press in his home in Bayonne, N.J. Wepner, the Bayonne Bleeder, went toe-to-toe with Muhammad Ali in a fight that inspired Sylvester Stallone to write "Rocky." Stallone later settled a lawsuit Wepner filed against him. Wepner's real-life story is coming to the big screen and this time he's getting all the credit, with Liev Schreiber playing Wepner in “Chuck,” which opens on Friday, May 5, 2017, in New York and Los Angeles before expanding nationwide, (AP Photo/Julio Cortez)
