Word -Dart Champion Luke 'The Nuke' Littler reportedly threatened to complain a pub a sports bar in his hometown that was mentioned in honor of him with the help of his name and similarity.
Littler has helped to bring arrows to the mainstream since he broke out on stage at the 2024 world championship, transcends the sport and becomes a global name.
The 18-year-old became second in the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, a Brit Award presented, appeared at the front of the magazine Forbes and was a guest in the Jonathan Ross show.
In an ode to his phenomenal success, Nuke's Sportbar – named after the Warrington Darts Ace – will open this month in the Cheshire Town.
Pubbaas Owen Williams chose the name for the poll with a darts theme after the social media poll and was planning to sell pints for only £ 2.40, while £ 5,000 spent branding using the nickname of their famous customer.
Employees are also ready to do purple Polo shirts with yellow logos with his nickname, which he made last year through his company, Luke Littler Darts.
However, he was closed to the frustrated Publican with a letter from lawyers who act on behalf of Luke Littler about a possible infringement.
The letter outlined a potential infringement of the terms 'The Nuke', 'Luke' and 'Luke the Nuke Littler',

“Good luck with Owen hopes that you will get a positive result and you can continue with the chosen name.”
But some were not so sympathetic, with someone who said about it: 'You have copied his logo, that is a violation of a trademark, you cannot use someone else's logo and claim that they are. You must reverse your bar. '
Williams said earlier that he wanted the Boozer to be the cheapest independent bar in the city, open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to midnight.
