Adonis Johnson (Micheal B Jordan) never knew his dad; he also never knew how famous he was. His father was the famous boxer Apollo Creed (see Rocky I - IV) who had passed away before Adonis was born (he was literally killed in the ring). Once he starts to find out who his father was he wants to begin boxing (he was a proficient fighter even before that in both group homes and juvie). He notices how it's something he likes, and it also runs in the blood. He eventually seeks out Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) and asks Rocky to become his trainer. Rocky at first begins to deny Adonis request because Rocky is already retired, but Rocky sees something in Adonis - he sees a lot in him at agrees to mentor him. With the help of his trainer and a lot of effort Adonis gets a title shot but weather [whether] he has the true heart of a fighter remains to be seen.
