Mirror

Littler firmly believes that the player holding the top spot in the PDC rankings is the best in the world. As the 18-year-old currently occupies this position, he considers himself the world's finest darts player, with Humphries closely following in second place.
In a previous interview, Littler expressed his thoughts on being the best, stating that the number one ranked player is, by default, the best in the world. This statement was made before he claimed the top spot.
The debate about who is superior between Littler and Humphries has been ongoing since Littler's emergence at the 2024 World Championship. Humphries previously held the number one ranking from January 2024 to November 2025.

Prior to this victory, Humphries faced criticism from darts influencer Charlie Murphy. Murphy suggested that Humphries had given up in his recent matches against Littler.
Humphries' path to victory was paved by Littler's unexpected elimination in the third round. After winning the tournament, Humphries jokingly commented that his win would help him maintain his position as the second-best player.
Following his victory, Humphries expressed his determination to continue pushing himself. He humorously mentioned keeping his 'aura levels up' in response to Murphy's comments.
Murphy later apologized for his remarks about Humphries, acknowledging that his words had caused hurt. He clarified that his intention was not to upset Humphries and that he struggled to convey his intended message.
