Malheureusement, le combat connaît un dénouement tragique alors qu’Apollo est tué devant les yeux de Rocky qui est impuissant à empêcher la mort de son ami. Désirant venger Apollo, Rocky lance un défi à Drago et se rend en Russie pour livrer un combat dont l’issue, plus qu’incertaine, inquiète grandement Adrian.

Le champion d’aujourd’hui s’appelle Mason Dixon, et tout le monde s’accorde à le définir comme un tueur sans élégance ni coeur. Alors que les promoteurs lui cherchent désespérément un adversaire à sa taille, la légende de Rocky refait surface. L’idée d’opposer deux écoles, deux époques et deux titans aussi différents enflamme tout le monde. Pour Balboa, c’est l’occasion de ranimer les braises d’une passion qui ne l’a jamais quitté. L’esprit d’un champion ne meurt jamais…
