But apart from hisYellowstoneuniverse featuring the drama-filled Dutton family, Sylvester Stallone’sTulsa Kingwould be the next best thing on television. The show centers around Stallone’s character Dwight “The General” Manfredi, and his crime empire as well as several personal story arcs.

Taylor Sheridan‘sTulsa Kingwith its interesting storylines has kept the audience hooked with its second season. The crime drama show has also brought forth several storylines. However, a recent interview of writer Terence Winter, hints that a blast from the pastcharactercan soon be featured on the show.
The character in question is Dwight’s late brother Joe. In the fifth episode of the first season, the viewers witness Dwight attending the funeral of Joe in New York.

The host also asked if the viewers would see some flashbacks in the second season between Dwight and Joe. To this Winter added:
Dwight is a guy who, you know, for twenty five years, kind of abandoned his family. More as a way of, as he said, psychologically protecting them, but it was really probably more about him. And now he’s trying to make up for lost time. He’s trying to repair the broken relationship with his estranged sister, and certainly his daughter and grandchildren. So, throughout the course of that, we’ll get more insight into what the early days of that family was like.
Winter made it a point to not reveal any major details about the show. But given that he talked in detail about Joe’s character, it would be interesting to see if he makes a flashback appearance in the show or not. This would definitely add another layer of emotional turmoil in Dwight’s life as he navigates his new life in Tulsa Oklahoma.
Stallone Names His All-Time Heavyweight Champion in Boxing
Sylvester Stallone, famous for hisRockymovies, in a past chitchat named Tyson Fury the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time. This choice elevated Fury above great fighters like Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali. In an interview onThe Jonathan Ross Show, Stallone expressed his admiration for Fury, who is known as “The Gypsy King.”
He commended Fury for his incredible boxing abilities and achievements, emphasizing how his talent and willpower set him apart. Stallone also added:
I mean this, Tyson. I think you’re the greatest heavyweight that ever lived, and I’m a boxing historian. I study this closely. When you put together all your skills, and plus your heart, and your ability to recuperate, and how you can move around so well at your size, there’s no one that could’ve beaten you in any era.
Even though Stallone played a world champion in movies, he said that real boxing was very different. He further shared his experiences of sparring with boxing legends in the same interview. He recalled,“I sparred with Muhammad Ali, and Joe Frazier gave me eleven stitches. That happened in about two seconds.”

Just imagine if he was angry!”In the past, Stallone mentioned that when he sparred with Roberto Duran, he realized how quickly the former champion could defeat him, despite their size difference.
