I imagined it’s 1976 and I’ve just been asked to create the official movie poster for ROCKY. What do I do?


I go right to the heart of the story — the night before the big fight — when Rocky visits the ring and realizes he has no shot at defeating Apollo Creed. It is in this moment that Rocky shifts his mind from his “want” to win the fight, to his “need” to go the distance, and prove he’s not a bum.


My original ALONE IN THE RING painting captures this moment — one that resonates with all of us. Here, I reimagine it as the official ROCKY film poster. The powerful imagery is complete with Rocky’s quote at the bottom, telling us exactly what he intends to achieve.

Alone in the ring

This piece brings Rocky's whole life into perspective. The night before the fight, full of so many emotions. A nobody from Philadelphia, gets to go toe to toe with the champion of the world, Appollo Creed. All he wanted to do, is go where no man has gone before, the distance. If he can make it to the end of the fight, and he's still standing, he's gonna prove to himself for the first time in his life, that he wasn't just another bum from the neighborhood.

Art, Adaptation, New Perspectives

I’ve always loved the creativity of John Rivoli’s art, and more precisely, his ability to re-energise familiar moments from the Rocky series, inviting us to contemplate them from new perspectives. In this respect, his work offers a perfect synergy with Stallone’s films, which so often find new inspiration and originality in established narratives. ‘Alone in the Ring’ is without question my favourite of John’s works, and I was truly delighted when he announced a poster version. It’s the kind of artwork that I relish by simply losing myself in it, remembering the moment when Rocky begins to grasp the enormity of the personal challenge and opportunity facing him. On a practical note, the service from John was a pleasure. A beautiful print on heavy art paper, carefully wrapped and delivered promptly from the US to the UK. Thank you so much, John.
