In 2015, a small local fight occurred at an unnamed arena in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico between Adonis Johnson and a unnamed boxer who simply went by "The Title". Unknown to everyone, Johnson was the illegitimate son of deceased Heavyweight Champion Apollo Creed. Johnson hid this from the public as he wanted to create his own legacy in boxing. Adonis was able to knock down the boxer in the first round.
Fight[]
In the beginning of 2015, Adonis scored his 15th victory over the boxer.
Aftermath[]
Adonis resigned from his securities firm job to follow his father's legacy as a boxer. He attempted to receive training at the Delphi Boxing Academy, the same place his father trained in Los Angeles but was refused by the gym's owner Tony "Little Duke" Evers refused out of protection for Adonis. Adonis decided to head to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and enter the restaurant of Adrian's while seek out the two-time veteran champion Rocky Balboa (Apollo's longtime rival/friend) for training and he will become a good apprentice to be in Rocky's shadow of what the late Tommy "the Machine" Gunn could not.
