- Luke Littler became the youngest player to win the World Dart Championship
- The 18 -year -old has been inclined to eclipse the record of Phil Taylor of 16 world titles
- The teenager insists that he will only play as long as he has motivation for the game
Luke Litter has silenced to talk about him professionally until his last years.
The teenage sensation made history last month when he became the youngest player to win the World Dart Championship to the tender age of 17 years.
Littler has been compared for a long time with the record winner Phil Taylor, who retired 57 years, and proposed to eclipse his total of 16 world titles.
But Littler has revealed that he does not feel like equalizing 'power' in that sense and insisted that he will stop playing as soon as he loses motivation to succeed.
“I will not touch the 50,” Littleler said in the new Huw Ware Tops and Tales podcast. 'I could wake up tomorrow, the fire left my belly and I want to retire. So maybe I can't do it.
His words arrive after a whirlwind for years after first breaking the scene in the world championship last year. Littler went to the final before losing to Luke Humphries.

Phil 'The Power' Taylor won a record of 16 world titles before his retirement at the age of 57
His profile shot in the next 12 months before his first global title in January.
This week, the 18 -year -old responded to critics after his surprise Third Round defeat in the players championship in Wigan, the opening event of the Protour PDC 2025 season.
Robin Park Leisure Center welcomed the new additions to the professional circuit along with the players established in a field of 128 people, with a higher prize of £ 15,000.
Littler, hit by Michael Van Gerwen on the opening night of the Premier League in Belfast, had started with a 6-4 victory over the Canadian veteran Jim Long and then beat Martin Lukeman 6-3, but averaged only 87.4.
However, Joe Cullen proved to be too strong for the 18-year-old, landing eight maximums in a convincing 6-3 victory, taking five straight legs when Littler lost 15 doubles.
There were some criticism for the biggest star in Darts online and the 18 -year -old has responded.
A Facebook fan came to the defense of the nuclear, writing: 'Everyone who hates the little ones makes me laugh, remember what he has done and won in a year on the tour. I hate people who start the success of people.
And Littler responded from his account, saying: 'He still won a few pounds today, while these are sitting at home carrying their phones waiting for him to lose.
