According to a June 20 report by Hollywood Life, Adonis Creed will be recovering from his battle in the first film, but a much bigger challenge is coming. The young boxer will want to take on the son of Ivan Drago, the man who killed his father, Apollo, in the ring.
Instead, Rocky’s former enemy turned best friend, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) decided to come out of retirement for an exhibition match with Drago. The time came for the fight, and Apollo was being his usual over the top self, making the match a spectacle and giving the fans a good show. However, once the bell rang and he stepped into the ring, Creed found out that Drago meant business. He begged Rocky not to throw in the towel, which is a decision that Rocky would come to regret for his entire life.
KNOCKOUT!

Ivan Drago ended up killing Apollo Creed in the ring, as Rocky held his best friend in his arms, and now the retired boxer will have to relive all of that drama with Adonis as he prepares to battle Ivan’s son, Viktor Drago, in the sequel.
