Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on March 23, 1937)

Happy Birthday, Tony Burton! From your unforgettable role as Duke in the Rocky films—guiding Apollo Creed and later mentoring Rocky Balboa—you've shown us all how to deliver a knockout performance. Your iconic line, "Throw the damn towel!" still echoes hilariously whenever someone stubbornly refuses advice at family gatherings.

Your legacy continues strong; every time we rewatch those training montages or hear you passionately coaching from ringside, we're reminded of your timeless charisma. May this birthday be filled with laughter, joy—and hopefully fewer raw eggs than Rocky's breakfast routine. Keep inspiring generations by reminding us: life's about going one more round!
