A critical success and due for release in the UK on January 15th, the Rocky spin-off sees Jordan’s character Adonis Creed/Johnson go up against Bellew’s portrait of the world’s number one pound for pound fighter.
In a behind the scenes snippet posted by ‘Sly’ on Wednesday, filming footage shows Bellew practising a fake punch landing over and over again, before attempting a live take and clobbering Jordan to the canvas.

The clip is shocking to watch as the Fruitville Station headliner is clearly unaccustomed to taking a punch, let alone from a brute like Bellew, although Stallone has assured fans that Jordan got right back up and did another take for director Ryan Coogler soon after.
