‘Of course I will retire’ – Luke Littler reveals what could stop him with darts

Luke Littler has rejected suggestions that he can retire at darts at the age of 23 and says: don’t worry – I will be close for a long time.

Yet there is one condition under which he would hang his darts Early – if he wins 16 world titles in a row to darken the legendary Phil Taylor.

The Nuke, who turned 18 in January, will try to defend his Premier League Crown on Thursday, with the aim of earning £ 335,000 from total money.

On the eve of his return to the O2 -Arena, a stable partner and ‘Big Brother’ figure Nathan Aspinall claimed that the world champion could stop in five years.

That is as soon as he has had enough of the debilitating travel schedule and has also received millions of prize money.

The ASP, 33, said: “Even now, Luke was able to retire and not worry about money in his life. Simply as that. He will always have exhibition work.

“I hope he stays as long as possible.

“If he is tired of the journey now – and he will have a girlfriend, and perhaps one day he will have a child – with £ 30 million in his couch, he really wants to travel to Wigan on a cold Tuesday morning?

“He is coming out of his shell a bit at the moment. I am really close to Luke. During this Premier League campaign he has now become a man.

“I can have a conversation with him – it’s not just about Xbox.”

When it was stated that he could decide to throw the arrows aside – and he has already skipped many European touring events this year – it was laughed at.

SmallerThe World No2 said: “I heard that. I will be here in 10 years.

“It is clearly strange to even think about retiring at the moment.

“I think what they say is that if we win 16 titles in the next 16 World championshipsThen I will clearly retire.

“I am not thinking about retirement at the moment. The money, it is there to be won, especially the world championships.

“But not only that, everything has gone up. It’s all about what you feel and I am sure I will be here for a long time.”

In the semi -final, Littler is taking on BOGEYMAN Gerwyn Price – He has lost six of his last eight games at Welshman – about the best of 19 legs and then Aspinall is against Luke Humphries For 14,000 fans.

Littler won £ 60,000 for six nocturnal competition profits for four months and he will try to pursue Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen who defended the Prem Trophy, who carries a check of £ 275,000.

He said: “There has been a target on my back for the past 18 months, since I first came on tour. Everyone wants to beat me.

“I know that if I am not on my game, they catch me up.

“The statistics are there. I have dominated in many ways, averages, 180s, Ton-plus checkouts, but it’s a night.

“It would mean that everything would win again. It is clearly my first major TV title defense, but for myself I just have to look forward to the first semifinal with Gerwyn and go from there.”
