Eddie Hearn praises major U.K. sports star and it's not a boxerMatchroom Boxing
Eddie Hearn is a huge admirer of a British sports star.

Eddie Hearn has continued to push praise on Luke Littler following the youngster's incredible rise in the world of darts.  

Littler burst onto the scene last year at the World Darts Championship as he went all the way to the final despite only being 16 years old. 

Since then, Littler’s momentum has kept going with numerous impressive performances in various competitions including the Premier League Darts.  

Littler has also been spotted at many sporting events including boxing fights and Manchester United games, and Hearn has spoken highly about the Warrington man. 

“In the positioning of stars in U.K. sport right now, he’s right up there,” said Hearn when speaking on the Love the Darts podcast

“He’s making a lot of money on and off the oche. It’s the first time really that a darts player is signing deals with major brands.”
