Boxer, Anthony Joshua currently spending four days alone in a pitch black room after paying £2,000 for the experience

British-Nigerian boxer, 34 years old Anthony Joshua is presently spending 4 days alone in a pitch-black room after he had paid £2,000 for the experience.

The so called style of retreat is popularly used by various sporting stars as a means of meditation so as to help them be alone with their thoughts.

In a post he shared on Instagram before embarking on his retreat, Joshua posted:

Myself and [my friend] are about to embrace the darkness and solitude for four days (separate rooms).

Isolated with nothing to do except relax and clear the mind while being immersed in infinite darkness.’ He will emerge on Friday.

Anthony has been fed through food passed into the pitch black room but there has so far been no social interaction or light all through the week.

It was reported that NFL star Aaron Rodgers, who embarked on a similar retreat has shared his experience in March, disclosing:

‘It was a great reset for me, for my body and my mind,’ the 39-year-old further revealed that of the four-day excursion. ‘Maybe a little bit longer than I needed. I feel like by the time I got to the fourth day, I was like, ”Alright, I’m ready to come out”.
