This poster, the angle, the lighting, pose, framing, colors… all seem generic to me. Also the cover you linked to barely looks like the Creed III poster.
Lastly, movie posters are made by the distributor. MB Jordan had 0 say in it. This is most likely a still frame taken from the footage they shot, that was then over-sharpened and heavily color corrected. There’s no room for "a nice, mindful homage to X" in the case of Hollywood movie posters. It’s a sweatshop and its only goal is to maximize the $$$
I get that this poster reminded you of Hajime’s poster, but to say there’s any relation between the two is quite the stretch IMHO.
