His opponent this time is Damian \u201cDame\u201d Anderson (played superbly by Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania star Jonathan Majors) \u2013 a former childhood friend and boxing prodigy who has spent several years behind bars due to an incident Adonis himself had played a part in.<\/p>\n
It all ends with one of the most brutal fights the franchise has seen yet \u2013 read on to find out what happened, with the warning that there are major spoilers ahead for Creed III.<\/p>\n
**Spoiler warning for Creed III**<\/strong><\/p> When Dame first arrives back in Adonis\u2019s life, the pair are like old friends reunited \u2013 and everything seems to be going well. Adonis uses his sway to help get Dame back training and ready to fight and also introduces him to Bianca (Tessa Thompson) and their daughter Amara (Mila Davis-Kent).<\/p>\n But it doesn\u2019t take long before their reunion turns sour. During his championship fight with current heavyweight champion Felix (another of Adonis\u2019s prot\u00e9g\u00e9s) Dame uses some dirty tactics which win him no admirers, and following his win, he is seen flaunting his success in a rather unsavoury manner.<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, it becomes clear that rather than being genuinely happy to have been reunited with Adonis in the first place, Dame has simply been using him \u2013 targeting the guilt his old friend feels for his arrest. He\u2019d even used an accomplice to injure Viktor Drago so that the path could be cleared for him to fight Felix in the first place.<\/p>\n Naturally, Adonis decides there\u2019s only one thing for it \u2013 the pair will have to settle their differences in the ring. And so after the customary training montage, the big fight arrives, labelled by the media as the Battle for Los Angeles.<\/p>\n The fight is an epic one, and although Adonis takes a few beatings he manages to best his opponent with a knock-out blow in the final round \u2013 regaining the championship belt and seeming to win back the grudging respect of his friend-turned-nemesis.<\/p>\n But the film doesn\u2019t just end with the fight: once it\u2019s all said and done, Adonis approaches Dame so they can sort out their differences in a rather less brutal way \u2013 with a good old-fashioned heart-to-heart.<\/p>\n Adonis expresses his regret for having cut off contact with Dame after he was sent to prison, and eventually, the pair agree to put the past behind them and reconcile \u2013 realising that no good will come from continuing to blame each other for what had happened many years ago.<\/p>\n The film ends with Adonis standing in the ring with his daughter as he looks out at the empty arena. It appears that he might be bidding farewell to his boxing career for good now, but perhaps he has found a successor in Amara \u2013 even Bianca seems to be encouraging the child to give boxing a go now having previously expressed reservations.<\/p> Creed 3 ending explained: does Adonis beat Dame?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
