Luke Littler celebrated his latest darting triumph by taking a trip to Manchester to watch some boxing on Saturday night.
Eighteen-year-old Littler beat Luke Humphries in a last-leg decider to claim maximum points on Night 2 of the 2025 edition of Premier League Darts on Thursday.
Littler overcame two other former world champions, in Rob Cross and Michael van Gerwen, en route to Thursday’s final.
With no major darts tournament taking place this weekend, Littler headed to Manchester’s Co-op Live arena on Saturday to enjoy a card that was headlined by Jack Catterall’s clash with Arnold Barboza Jr.
Before that main event, local lad Conner Tudsbury made his professional debut by knocking out Sadaam Da Silva Caetano in round two. After that impressive win, 24-year-old Tudsbury was filmed hanging out with Littler back stage.
Footage posted on social media by DAZN even showed Tudsbury sharing some of his post-fight snacks with Littler, who had watched the action from a ringside seat next to promotor Eddie Hearn.

In the video, Littler takes a small round object from a plastic box before asking Tudsbury: ‘What is it?’
After being told that it is ‘sugar and dough, basically’, Littler takes a bite and declares: ‘That’s alright, that.’
Littler has made plenty of famous friends since bursting onto the scene at the 2024 PDC World Darts Championship, where he finished second.
He has rubbed shoulders with ex-England captain David Beckham, legendary former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and WWE star Cody Rhodes, as well as starring in social media content with popular influencers like Angry Ginge and Jack McDermott.
Littler will be in Dublin next Thursday to continue his bid for more Premier League glory.
He will face Gerwyn Price in the quarter-finals, with the winner of that match going on to play Humphries or Stephen Bunting in the semis.
Littler was not impressed by the behaviour of the crowd in Glasgow on Thursday.
Many Scottish fans decided to boo and whistle when both Littler and Humphries were throwing, despite being asked not to by referee Kirk Bevins.

Speaking after he won the event, Littler said: ‘Yeah, obviously, there was a few in particular that were doing it when Luke was throwing.
‘Kirk told them to be quiet and it got even worse, and then I missed doubles and Luke breaks at 5-4.
‘I’m just like, “Kirk, you’ve made it worse for me there, I’m 5-4 down.” But I broke back and held my throw very strongly again.’
Littler added: ‘That was pretty bad, but I got the win.’
