Sylvester Stallone death hoax: A picture with boxer Sergey Kovalev reveals truth

Hollywood action star Sylvester Stallone has dismissed the rumours about his death by tweeting a photo of himself with boxer Sergey Kovalev.

The "Rocky" star found himself as a victim of a death hoax this weekend, reported Daily Mirror.

The Rocky star shared a snap holding up his fists with Sergey "Krusher" Kovzalev on Saturday.

Without referencing the vile hoax that quickly spread across social media, Sylvester brushed it off with a cheeky smile and boxing pose, proving he's as fit as ever.

"With the incredibly powerful unified light heavyweight champion, Sergey "Krusher"Kovzalev " Whatever he hits, he destroys" @sergeykovalev (sic)," the actor captioned the photo.
