Sylvester Stallone has laughed off rumours that he had died, following a hoax report circulating on social media.

The rumours began when a “news story” purporting to be written by CNN began appearing on Twitter on Saturday evening.

In response, Stallone posted a photo on Instagram on Sunday in which he joked that he was about to be killed by his friend, Russian boxer Sergey Kovzalev, nicknamed “Krusher”.
