In 1980, Sylvester Stallone, embodying the unyielding spirit of Rocky Balboa, commissioned sculptor A. Thomas Schomberg to craft a towering statue for the movie, Rocky III. The statue with fists raised in triumph, captures the heart of a fighter who never quits. Tailored to Stallone’s leaner, battle-hardened physique, the Monumental Rocky Statue became a global symbol of resilience and perseverance, that will continue to inspire countless dreamers to rise and fight on.
