In Rocky IV, released in 1985, the Soviet boxer speaks fewer than ten lines in the whole film. One of them, four words thrown out before the final fight, became one of the most quoted lines in the saga and followed Dolph Lundgren through his entire career. It is printed in full across the bottom of this blanket.
What the visual shows
Plain black ground, the whole design in gold. At the centre, a bare-chested boxer in a high guard, fists closed in front of the face, drawn in contrasting flat areas. Upper right, an emblem made of a five-pointed star above a hammer and sickle, ringed with a laurel wreath. At the bottom, on one line: I MUST BREAK YOU, the middle word in heavier type. The folded corner in the photograph shows the reverse, plain and light.
Choosing your size
Three sizes, given width by height: 125x100 cm / 49x39 in for an armchair or a sofa back, 150x125 cm / 59x49 in for a two-seat sofa, 200x150 cm / 79x59 in for a three-seat sofa or thrown across a double bed. The full match-up is set out in the collection's size guide.
Technical specifications
Good to know
The gold design covers a large part of the surface: the whole thing reads like a screen-printed poster. Folded over a sofa back at 125x100 cm / 49x39 in, it reads as a wall piece.

Frequently asked questions
What size blanket should I choose for a sofa?
150x125 cm / 59x49 in for a two-seat sofa, 200x150 cm / 79x59 in for a three-seat, 125x100 cm / 49x39 in for an armchair or a sofa back. The complete match-up is in the size guide.
What does I must break you mean?
It is the line Ivan Drago throws at Rocky Balboa before the final fight of Rocky IV, released in 1985. The character has only a handful of lines in the entire film.
How do you wash a dark blanket without it bleeding?
Cold, on a delicate cycle, with dark-coloured laundry and no fabric softener. The first two washes can release a little dye, as any new dark textile does: simply avoid washing it with whites.
Is the design printed on both sides?
No, on one side only. The reverse is plain and smooth, so the blanket can be turned over when you want a neutral finish on the sofa.
Does it go with the USSR model?
The two share the same emblem but not the same treatment: this one is entirely gold, the other uses red and yellow. Together in one room, take two different sizes to avoid symmetry.
The same world carries on with boxing wall art and the rest of the boxing decoration.
