Further, Majors admitted that he has caught him a few times and taken and given some body shots. He said, "I took a couple, I think. I loved it. I’m just so humbled by the opportunity to be a part of the 'Rocky' franchise. Sly, Michael B Jordan, it’s like, if I’m gonna be in that lineage, even as a baddie, I wanna go for it. So, yeah, [Michael] might caught me a few times. I took some body shots, and gave out a few, too."
