Cuando no está llevando a cabo la tarea de su jefe, cobrando deudas vencidas o trabajando en el gimnasio de Mickey, intenta cortejar a su amor platónico, Adrian Pennino. En noviembre de 1975, el campeón mundial de boxeo de peso pesado Apollo Creed llegó a Filadelfia. Estaba programado para luchar contra Mac Lee Green en el próximo Bicentenario de los Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, el hombre se retira de la pelea debido a una lesión. Sin otros luchadores con quienes batirse en duelo, Creed está varado. Por esta razón, Creed decide darle a un luchador local una oportunidad sin precedentes de luchar contra él por una recompensa de 150.000 dólares. 

Elige pelear contra Rocky por su alias, «El semental italiano», y la excelente publicidad que obtendría porque le está dando a un desvalido una oportunidad por el título. Curiosamente, Rocky se niega al principio, pero luego acepta debido al dinero y la oportunidad de demostrarse a sí mismo y a todos que, después de todo, no es un vagabundo. Luego adquiere los servicios de Mickey como su manager y entrenador. Además, Rocky recluta a su mejor amigo, Paulie, como su esquinero.

However, Rocky sustained a detachment of his retina, and there was a risk of permanent blindness if there was a repeat trauma to the eye. So he decides to retire, and his girlfriend Adrian and the doctors share the same opinion.

However, Creed still wanted a rematch because he felt Rocky going the distance against him was just a fluke. Meanwhile, Rocky is now wealthy because of his money after the fight and the new sports endorsements. Buoyed by this fact, he proposes to Adrian, which she agrees to, and they get married. Sometime later, Adrian becomes pregnant. However, Creed won’t just give up the idea of having a rematch against Rocky. He tries every possible means to get Rocky out of retirement but is unable to.

Because Rocky doesn’t have experience managing money, he later runs out of money and becomes broke. Finally, after several failed attempts at securing a job, he starts thinking about the rematch.
