His own account, via Wikipedia; Foley's record agrees.
“He said in a 1902 interview with The Cincinnati Enquirer that Larry Foley of
Sydney had acted as an important early boxing mentor, and indeed Griffo had
trained at Foley's boxing school at Sydney's White Horse Hotel”
“At his gym at the White Horse, Foley taught, trained and guided the careers of
the great boxers Young Griffo, Bob Fitzsimmons, Paddy Slavin, and Peter Jackson
as well as the lesser known Dan Creedon and George Dawson.”

“With the help of his protégé, Australian champion Larry Foley, he schooled a
generation of mostly Australian boxers, including the Caribbean-born Peter
Jackson, multiple-weight-class champion, British-born Bob Fitzsimmons, and Young
Griffo.”
