<\/a>Sylvester Stallone<\/a>\u00a0is known for playing Italian-American Rocky Balboa in the Oscar-winning film from 1976, but today he was caught sparring with one opponent he probably never expected to face.\u00a0<\/p>\n For his visit to the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican City, the action star was accompanied by his wife, <\/a>Jennifer Flavin<\/a>, and their three adult daughters Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet, as well as his brother, Frank.\u00a0<\/p>\n Playing up to his public persona, Stallone was seen in a video sparring with the 86-year-old pontiff, starting it off by saying: ‘Ready, we box.’<\/p>\n He then raised his fists like a prized fighter before the pope, wearing his traditional white clothes and a skullcap, did his best imitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
