Darts champion Littler attends Allen-Hrgovic ahead of latest title tilt
Usyk vs. Verhoeven: Only on DAZN PPV - Saturday
Luke Littler brought a little bit of world champion stardust to Dave Allen and Filip Hrgovic's heavyweight bout on Saturday night.
'The Nuke', the two-time reigning World Darts Championship holder, made an early entrance at Doncaster's Eco-Power Stadium.
Littler, the PDC world number one, is due to contest the latest night of the 2026 Premier League Darts in Sheffield on Thursday.
But the 19-year-old took time out from his busy schedule to lend his support for Allen's hometown encounter against Hrgovic.
DAZN FACE OFF: Usyk vs. Verhoeven

'The White Rhino' headlines the biggest bout of his career thus far against the Rio 2016 medalist and high-ranking contender.
A win for Allen would flip the script on an anticipated bout with Moses Itauma for Hrgovic, amid the latter Briton's rising stock.
With just a lone loss to Daniel Dubois on his professional record, the Croatian remains determined to return to title contention.
Allen meanwhile has put his name forward to face Tyson Fury if the latter opts for another tune-up bout before facing Anthony Joshua.
