Professional darts player Luke Littler revealed that his ultimate victory fantasy involves football star Cristiano Ronaldo presenting him with a trophy. Known as The Nuke, Littler is set to appear in a live Netflix special on Friday called Beat Luke Littler. Ahead of the broadcast, he teamed up with rival Justin Hood for a humorous video interview organized by their shared equipment sponsor, Target Darts.
During the conversation, the two competitors bonded over their mutual fondness for Chinese cuisine and the Alexandra Palace venue. Hood noted that his memorable run to the quarter-finals of the World Championship earlier in the year involved ambitions of purchasing a Chinese restaurant, a business idea that even included Littler's rival Luke Humphries.
When asked about their ideal trophy presenters, Littler stated, "Cristiano (Ronaldo). There you go Luke." Hood responded, "I'd go the King. And be my subject for the day."
Discussion soon turned to post-victory meals. Hood stated, "A Chinese." Littler added, "A Chinese or a pizza. Why not." Hood laughed and said, "Bosh!"
Talk then shifted to their preferred venues. Hood remarked, "Alexandra Palace, 100 per cent. Iconic venue, only getting bigger this year, five and a half thousand." Littler replied, "Something stupid!" Hood added, "Bet they can't wait to watch you lift that trophy again!" Littler continued, "I'd say Ally Pally. Perfect night is obviously hitting that winning double, picking up the trophy and then going home and chilling out."
Regarding their toughest opponents, Littler said, "I'd probably say Humphries for myself. Just with the Premier League, week-in, week-out just battling and battling." Hood added, "I played Luke (Humphries) twice on the ProTour and he's had a 114 and 109 average. I ain't picking him!"
