Mason Dixon (Rocky Balboa character)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mason "The Line" Dixon, played by real-life boxer Antonio Tarver, is the primary opponent of Rocky Balboa in the upcoming motion picture Rocky Balboa. He appears to be based loosely on Mike Tyson, as Apollo Creed was based on Muhammad Ali.
Dixon, the current world heavyweight boxing champion, is pitted against Rocky Balboa in a computer-generated boxing match created by ESPN.
