Josh Rock believes he is a man to provoke the dominance of Littler Littler in the darts.
Littler won his first Darts World Championship at the age of just 17 years earlier this month and is intended for the threat of Phil Taylor record of 16 world titles.
The 23-year-old rock was once intended for Darts’ ‘Next Big Thing’ before Littler broke into the scene, after winning the World Cup in Dartsa in 2022-where he announced a record average of 104.13 in the finals.
Success in the years since it was harder as a professional to come, although the solid season 2024 saw him climbing the Top 16, and Rock now believes he is ready for a great time.
“I had a solid 2024, but I honestly think that 2025 will be my year,” Northern Irishman said ahead of this week’s master at Milton Keynes.
“It is fantastic for sports; Luke has won worlds at such a young age, showing that now he is a sport of young people.
“My game is there to challenge, it was always, it just has to come out when he needs to.
“There is six years between me and Luke. We can have a very long career. I believe I and he will dominate sports, 100 percent.”
Rock faces Jermaine Wattimen in the introductory circle of restructured world masters – the Littleler tournament enters the first time.
Littleler, who has failed to win any of his first two tournaments since his triumph in Alexandra Palace – Bahrain Masters and The Darts Masters – is taken over by the Belgian Andy Baetens in his introductory match.
The World No 1 Luke Humphories attracts against Joe Cullen, while former world champion Michael Smith starts against Danny Noppert.
