Littler Dismisses Retirement Rumors, Eyes Taylor's Record

News summary

Luke Littler, the 18-year-old darts prodigy and reigning world champion, has strongly denied speculation—sparked by rival Nathan Aspinall—that he could retire within five years, calling such talk 'crazy' and affirming his intent to compete for at least a decade. Littler has set his sights on surpassing Phil Taylor’s record of 16 world titles, emphasizing his commitment to a long career in the sport. While Aspinall and others point to Littler’s financial success and the pressures of travel as reasons he might leave early, Littler remains focused on sustained excellence. Darts legend Dennis Priestley predicts Littler will surpass £10 million in career earnings but notes the challenge of matching Taylor’s longevity. Littler acknowledges the potential for burnout and the constant pressure of being a top player but insists he is determined to stay at the top. His ongoing success and ambition continue to elevate the profile of darts.
