Luke Humphries WINS World Darts Championship
Incredible Picture Emerges of Luke Littler Facing His World Darts Championship Final Opponent in a Pub When He Was Just 12...
World No 1 admits he'll 'probably have to play the game of my life in The Final' MailOnline 3 JAN 2024 https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/01...4242831782.jpg Luke Littler will face a familiar opponent in the World Darts Championship final in Luke Humphries - and will be seeking revenge for a defeat he suffered to the current world No 1 in a pub back in 2019. Littler has been the story of the tournament after a staggering run to the final at the age of just 16, beating former champions Raymond van Barneveld and Rob Cross in a fairytale performance at Ally Pally. The teenager beat Cross 6-2 in his semi-final to set up a meeting with Humphries, who crushed Scott Williams in Tuesday night's second semi-final. The winner will take home a huge £500,000 prize, with the runner-up pocketing £200,000. And it will not be the first time Littler has come up against Humphries, 28, with an incredible throwback photo recalling a meeting between the two four years ago - when the 16-year-old sensation was just 12 and his opponent 24. A picture posted by Littler on his Twitter account shows Littler standing next to Humphries after they played each other in a competition in Hayling Island. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/01...4238928489.jpg Luke Littler 12 (left) met Luke Humphries (right) in the Hayling Island quarter-final in November 2019 https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/01...4241924397.jpg Humphries demolished Scott Williams to reach the final of the World Darts Championship https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/01...4241924398.jpg Luke Littler has been the story of the competition exploding onto the scene as a 16-year-old |

The 16-year-old finished runner-up to world number one Luke Humphries at Alexandra Palace and his extraordinary run ensured record viewing figures for broadcasters Sky. That put pressure on the Professional Darts Corporation to include Littler, who turns 17 later this month, even though he has not won a major title and as a result the Warrington youngster has been fast-tracked to become the youngest player in Premier League history. “It’s unbelievable. No more development tour. This is it. Playing in the Premier League and comfortably in the (world’s top) 32,” Littler told Sky Sports News. Luke Littler and Luke Humphries share brotherly advice in touching moment after their epic darts final - with 16-year-old giving four-word message to the champion, who overcame struggles with anxiety and weight |
