Creed - Rocky's Legacy

Adonis Johnson never met his father, heavyweight world champion Apollo Creed, as he passed away before Adonis was born. However, there is no doubt that boxing runs in his blood. So, Adonis heads to Philadelphia, where Apollo Creed once fought his famous match against the tough up-and-coming boxer named Rocky Balboa. In the City of Brotherly Love, Adonis seeks out Rocky and asks him to be his trainer. Rocky firmly declines, as he wants nothing to do with the sport anymore. However, he immediately recognizes that Adonis has inherited the strength and determination for which Apollo was known. From the fierce rivalry between Apollo and Rocky, a close friendship later developed. Rocky eventually relents and begins training the young fighter, even though he himself is currently facing a more dangerous opponent.
