So, Adonis is the son of Apollo, who died when a scientifically engineered superman broke him in Rocky IV. Rocky IV was released in, and presumably took place in, 1985. That would make Adonis pretty old for a young boxer, since the new movie specifically states on-screen that it takes place in 2015.
Well, the movie never makes clear the circumstances behind Adonis' conception, that is, Apollo's cheating, nor does Apollo's wife explain how she found Adonis and knew he was Apollo's son. I suggest he was in actuality the result of ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION! Sperm can be frozen basically indefinitely, so it could have happened years after Apollo's death. Yes, it ties things up quite neatly, as well as clearing Apollo's name (and Apollo is just egotistical enough to want to spread his superior fighting genes to all corners of the earth). Now, this doesn't quite resolve the "how the heck did Apollo's wife find out about this kid?" question, so I'll just suggest Paulie's robot told her.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
