CHERRIES players were treated to a special advance screening of Creed III, the much-anticipated latest film in the Rocky franchise.

Set to hit cinemas this week, Creed is the feature directorial debut of Hollywood superstar Michael B Jordan, who recently became a part owner of Cherries.

The 36-year-old, who attended Cherries' defeat to Crystal Palace in December, also plays lead character Adonis Creed in the film.

In his programme notes for Saturday's clash with Manchester City, Cherries boss Gary O'Neil said: "I'd like to extend my best wishes to part owner Michael B Jordan, whose directorial debut Creed III is being released on Friday.

"The team and staff from across the club were lucky enough to see a preview screening, which was a valuable bonding opportunity, and it's a great film."

Cherries could not deliver a knockout blow against the Premier League champions, losing 4-1 at Vitality Stadium.
