London, June 14: Actor Sylvester Stallone has added one more feather to his cap.
The star has been inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame - even though he has never had a fight.
He was honoured for the contribution his series of `Rocky' films have made to the sport.
Stallone, 64, won an Oscar for his original 1976 movie about an underdog boxer who gets a title fight. It spawned five sequels.
"I never pretended to be a boxer, but I have an understanding of what goes on outside the ring," the Sun quoted him as saying at the New York ceremony.
Ex-heavyweight boxing champ Mike Tyson, 44, was also inducted into the Hall of Fame. (ANI)
