Darts sensation Luke Littler has expressed his desire to step into the boxing ring, revealing that he would welcome the opportunity to compete on the Misfits platform.
The 19-year-old, who has claimed two World Championship titles, indicated he would be keen on a single bout despite one significant obstacle.
"I'd love to, but the missus does not want me to," Littler admitted to DAZN.
"I'd love to, a one-off definitely, on Misfits."
Faith Millar's disapproval appears to be the primary barrier preventing the teenage darts star from pursuing his pugilistic ambitions.
Littler made his comments while attending a boxing card in Liverpool on Saturday evening, where he watched middleweight prospect Luke Turner, a friend of his, secure victory over Jensen Irving.
The fight formed part of the undercard for Nick Ball's world title defence against Brandon Figueroa.

"Anyone," Littler declared.
The demanding nature of his darts schedule, which includes weekly Premier League commitments alongside the European Tour, would make any boxing venture particularly challenging to accommodate.
