You had one job.”Littler concluded his post with two emojis: a monkey covering its eyes and a despairing face.However, the two events are unlikely to clash directly, with Joshua vs Fury expected to get underway in the early hours of Saturday morning UK time in order to maximise interest from the USA.But it’ll be a Friday night for sports fans to remember who will have arguably the biggest boxing event in a generation to feast on after the opening night of the PDC World Championship.Littler looking to emulate TaylorLittler heads to the Alexandra Palace this winter aiming to become just the second player to win three consecutive World Championships.Littler is the youngest world champion in darts history, winning his first title aged 17GettyThe legendary Phil Taylor achieved that feat in two separate streaks, triumphing a staggering eight years running from 1995 to 2002.But the 19-year-old will back himself to emulate ‘The Power’, who, at the age of 66, has not ruled out a sensational return to the oche.Littler has enjoyed a phenomenal 2026 so far and only recently saw his hopes of an unprecedented clean sweep of PDC majors ended.He suffered a surprise defeat to Jonny Clayton in the last eight of this month’s World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam.That came after a hostile reception from Dutch fans, which led Littler to threaten a boycott of future tournaments in the Netherlands.Littler to defend crown at biggest World Championship yetLittler retained his World Championship Crown by thrashing Gian van Veen 7-1 in the 2026 final.This year’s World Darts Championship will be the biggest edition of the event yet.For the first time, play will take place in the Alexandra Palace’s Great Hall, substantially boosting crowd capacity.
