Leeds-born Luke Humphries has made it clear he is ready to reclaim his place at the top of the darts world after being displaced by 18-year-old Luke Littler. Humphries, who hails from the same city that has produced countless sporting talents, had held the world number one spot for nearly two years but has seen his reign overshadowed by Littler’s meteoric rise. Littler’s triumph at the Grand Slam of Darts on Sunday, securing his fifth major title of the year and defeating Humphries in the final, cemented his status as the sport’s new dominant figure.
