    Defending champ Luke Littler has become just the fourth dartist in history to win back-to-back World Darts Championship titles

    Defending champ Luke Littler has become just the fourth dartist in history to win back-to-back World Darts Championship titles


    Luke "The Nuke" laid waste to Gian Van Veen , cleaning up the Dutchman 7-1 in the Ally Pally finale.

    Littler told Sky Sport he HAD to lift the trophy again.



    Littler has pocketed one million pounds for the one-sided pummelling.

    If he needed any other reward, the Nuke has also taken home the Ballon D'art, which is awarded for the most 180s in the tournament.

    He managed 73...Gary Anderson was next with 59 and van Veen third with 57.
