EXCLUSIVE: Dolph Lundgren is telling his side of the story and speaking of his relief after almost killing his pal Sylvester Stallone decades ago.

In early November, Stallone recalled the moment Lundgren "pulverized" him on the set of "Rocky IV" during an intense boxing scene between their characters Rocky Balboa and Ivan Drago.

"I didn't feel it in the moment but, later that night, my heart started to swell, my blood pressure went up to 260 and I was going to be talking to angels," Stallone recalled in a YouTube video.

Despite the gravity of Stallone's emergency, Lundgren insisted action film actors are prone to taking hits here and there.

I suppose that was one of the more interesting ones he's been a part of," Lundgren said with a chuckle.

The towering fitness enthusiast said his near-knockout of Stallone is still something the two joke about today.

We both got hit in the face in that picture," Lundgren said of the 1985 film.

"I had to find a superhuman being as an opponent, someone who would be overwhelming," Stallone said at the Cannes Film Festival in 2019, adding that he found Lundgren to be a "perfect" Soviet rival for Balboa.
