🎯 Teenage darts sensation Luke Littler is making headlines again, and not just for his impressive performances on the oche! The 18-year-old world number one recently had a fiery moment at Alexandra Palace after facing constant boos from the crowd during his match against former champion Rob Cross.
Despite securing a fantastic 4-2 victory with a stunning 106.58 average and smashing 17 180s, “The Nuke” couldn’t hold back his frustration. Littler lashed out at the crowd, sarcastically thanking them for his prize money: “You guys pay for tickets and pay for my prize money, so thank you for money, thank you for booing me!”
Though emotions ran high, the young champ later admitted backstage that he might have overreacted, noting he “lost his head” a bit too early in the game. But hey, who wouldn’t feel the heat under the intense scrutiny of a packed Ally Pally?
With a net worth estimated around £6.5m, thanks to prize wins and endorsement deals with the likes of Xbox and boohooMAN, Littler’s fortunes are soaring as quickly as his darts. Fans on social media have been quick to point out his wealth following the outburst, showing just how much this rising star has achieved in a brief two-year career.
Next up, Littler faces Poland’s Krzysztof Ratajski in the quarter-finals on New Year’s Day. With a potential £1 million prize for retaining his world title, can Littler keep his cool and add even more to his impressive fortune? 🎯✨ Stay tuned to see if this fiery young talent can stay on top!
