Anthony Joshua Resumes Training with First Coach

British boxer Anthony Joshua has resumed training with his first coach, Shane Murphy. Joshua posted a series of photos and videos on his Instagram account of his training sessions with Murphy at the Finchley Amateur Boxing Club, the same place where he began his career at the age of 18. Joshua wrote in the caption: 'Quality time with Shane Murphy.' Murphy played a significant role in developing Joshua's career in its early stages, helping him reach elite local fights before Joshua continued his career under the guidance of Great Britain national team coach Rob McCracken, with whom he later won an Olympic gold medal.
