Taktarov won the five-round fight just short of points.  In 1985 he made his appearance in the films for the role of the Soviet boxer Ivan Drago in the feature film Rocky IV - The Battle of the Century and was initially rejected. Only when he sent a photo of the director and lead actor Sylvester Stallone in order to apply personally, he received the pledge.
