Step aside, Ibiza Final Boss.Because the Fireball Final Boss has arrived and he is ready to take over the World Darts Championships.The Fireball Final Boss has arrived at the Ally Pally for the World Darts ChampionshipFireballMeet Billy Newton, a darts-obsessed 26-year-old from Wigan.Newton was hand-picked from dozens of darts nuts who applied for the role in which he will attend every day of this year’s World Championships at the Alexandra Palace.Yep, that’s 21 days of action which Newton, who has never been to the World Championships before, will endure.There will even be a Fireball-branded caravan on site at the venue, offering Newton a much-needed place to recharge the batteries or deliver a toast to the day’s action on the oche.It is the ultimate test of stamina but one which Newton, who works on social media, is ready to take on.“A couple of people have said, ‘I hope it doesn’t kill your love of darts,’” Newton told talkSPORT.com.“But I can’t see that happening. Like I said, I’d be in front of the TV watching it. “I know it’s going to be chaos, but I know what I signed up for. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity so I’m just going with the flow and I’m up for anything.”For Newton, it was very much a case of first in, best dressed.He was the first person to apply for the role of Fireball Final Boss and his enthusiasm evidently rubbed off on the application panel.Newton beat out a whole host of candidates for the Fireball Final Boss role…FireballIncluding World Championship hopeful Stephen BuntingFireballIt was a rigorous selection process, with candidates told to prove they love darts to the point they’d skip work or school to watch it or miss a family milestone just to catch a game.Although Newton cleared the biggest hurdle of being selected as the Fireball Final Boss, there was another that loomed perhaps even larger: convincing his boss to give him 21 days off work.“My boss isn’t too big into darts, so I don’t think he fully understood the scale,” Newton said.“But once I mentioned it was for Fireball, he understands they’re one of those brands who push it to the limit. I showed him a couple of videos and he was like, ‘Go for it, it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity’. “I make it known to people within my workplace that I’m big into darts, so it worked hand-in-hand really. Touch wood, they’ve been ok with it so far.”Thankfully his partner was more understanding from the outset, although Newton had a close shave with disaster.FireballNewton will have a home at the Ally Pally thanks to a customised caravan[/caption]“Luckily for me, her birthday was last week,” Newton said.“Otherwise I think I’d have a different argument on my hands!“The only thing I had to rearrange with her was we were meant to watch Jimmy Carr next week, but she’s given the tickets to her dad. It’s like I’ve killed two birds with one stone.“To be fair to her, she’s been great with it. She’s been in full support and she knows how much I love the darts.”Although this will mark Newton’s first rodeo at the World Championships, he has experienced the electric atmosphere that is associated with darts events across the world.Having attended the World Matchplay in Blackpool, the Grand Slam in Wolverhampton as well as a trip to Copenhagen earlier this year for the Nordic Darts Masters, Newton knows what to expect.GettyScores of fans will be at the Ally Pally for the World Championships[/caption]But, as he rightly pointed out, there’s only so much you can get a feel for from watching on TV until you get to step foot in the iconic Ally Pally for darts’ greatest annual showpiece.“I think that first walk-in into the venue is going to be special,” Newton said.“I remember doing it at the World Matchplay, the Winter Gardens is such a grand venue. “But you spend that many years watching the World Championships on the TV, I think nothing will replicate that.”Although Newton will grace the fabled halls of the Ally Pally for the first time, there’s a strong chance it won’t be his last.Should he and his partner choose to have kids, Newton insists he will be fully onboard with ‘Project Littler’, which will involve teaching his child to throw darts practically as soon as they can stand to emulate the world-beating feats of Luke Littler, who has smashed record after record since he burst onto the professional scene.Littler is likely to inspire the next generation of darts starsGettyEspecially given the finances involved in the sport, with the winner of this year’s World Championships set to pocket an eye-watering £1million, Newton knows investing in darts from a young age could prove worthwhile.“In the olden days, it was Project Ronaldo, Project Rooney for the football,” Newton said.“But it’s darts, that’s the way it is and that’s where the money is.“You don’t have to be in the best shape to be a darts player, although I know the tour is gruelling.“If I have kids, definitely.”It will be some time before Newton’s mooted ‘Project Littler’ gets off the ground, if at all.But until then, he has his reign as the Fireball Final boss to look forward to.
