Luke Littler makes World Darts Championship prediction with pressure admission

Luke Littler has raised the stakes ahead of the World Darts Championship, confidently asserting that he will claim the world title 'at least once' in the future.

The teenage prodigy has made a significant impact on the darts scene over the past year, racking up 10 titles since his debut at 16. His impressive earnings, including the £150,000 prize from the Grand Slam of Darts, have already made him a millionaire.

Littler's crushing 16-3 victory over Martin Lukeman in the final showcased his unwavering confidence, and he predicts even greater success to come. When asked if he would trade his trophies for a World Championship title, the Runcorn-born youngster dismissed the idea, saying: "I probably wouldn't because I know myself, I know I'm going to be in the darts game for years and years. Obviously I'm going to back myself to win at least one of them," Littler told talkSPORT.

Reflecting on his recent form, he added: "I feel like I can beat anyone, I've played most of the people competing in the Worlds and most of the time, I've got the better of them, I've won. But it's just preparation, practice, luck of the draw, see who's on my side, see who I can potentially meet and yeah, I can't wait for it."

With 10 titles under his belt and listed as one of the favourites for the World Championship crown, there is a growing belief that Littler can rise through the PDC Order of Merit, currently ranked fifth. Some of darts' greatest players have suggested that darts legend Phil Taylor's record of 16 world titles might not be out of reach for young Luke
