“You Had One Job”: Luke Littler Bemoans Schedule Clash with Joshua-Fury Fight
Littler said the schedule puts his title defense against a major boxing card and criticized promoters for placing both events on the same night.
- On Thursday, 19-year-old darts star Luke Littler criticized the scheduling of the Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua heavyweight bout for December 11, the same night he defends his World Darts Championship title at Alexandra Palace.
- Littler targeted fight promoters Barry Hearn and Eddie Hearn for the scheduling conflict, as the Hearns oversee Matchroom Sport and the Professional Darts Corporation where Littler competes.
- Posting on Instagram, Littler wrote, "A message to the Hearns: what is this? You had one job," though social media users mocked the comment, with one writing, "Almost like the world doesn't revolve around him."
- With the Fury-Joshua ringwalk set for 2am on Saturday, December 12, to accommodate US audiences, Littler is unlikely to attend the Cardiff event due to his championship commitments.
- Following a 10-4 defeat to Jonny Clayton on Sunday in Amsterdam, Littler has previously stated he is "100 per cent" prepared to boycott European Tour events in the Netherlands due to hostile crowds.
