Chuck Wepner, Tough Guy with a Big Heart
“I’m watching Kojak. I always watch Kojak at 11. It’s 5 after 11. I pick up the phone. It’s my mother. I say mom, I told you never call me when I’m watching Kojak.” This is What Wepner told his Mom before she told him that he was going to be fighting Ali in 1975.
Chuck Wepner nicknamed the ‘Bayonne Bleeder’ & inspiration for Rocky films
