Humble Anthony Joshua returns to amateur gym to see old coach just hours after brutally destroying Kubrat Pulev
HUMBLE Anthony Joshua returned to see his old coach just hours after destroying Kubrat Pulev.
The world champion produced an explosive performance to destroy the challenger on Saturday night.
And just hours after his show stopping performance in the ring, AJ headed to Finchley ABC to see old coach Sean Murphy.
Writing on Instagram, Murphy said: "Look who came down the gym tonight."
AJ replied: He is the king 👑."
The Watford heavyweight boxer has not forgotten his roots and bought a car for Murphy a couple of years.
AJ also paid for a new club minibus as he showed his gratitude for their contribution to his road to stardom.
The 31-year-old superstar was a teenager when he first strolled into Finchley ABC and credits the club for changing his life.
Joshua said: “It was at my first boxing club where I learned discipline.
"How to forget your ego and listen to instructions if you want to achieve things.
“Sean would say, ‘Shut up, get on the bags, stop talking’. He told me to stay focused.
“These guys will always have their door open for me, no matter what. I’ll never forget who has been there when no one was.”
Joshua's explosive win against Pulev has put him on a collision course to face Tyson Fury in a huge undisputed world heavyweight title fight next year.
