Ivan Drago

Ivan Drago is a fictional Soviet boxer from the 1985 film *Rocky IV*, played by Dolph Lundgren.

The character is remembered for his imposing physique, cold demeanor, and the line I must break you.

Drago has become shorthand for an intimidating, seemingly unbeatable opponent—especially one who appears machine-like or emotionless: He's built like Ivan Drago.
