Luke Littler is open to having a fight in the world of influencer boxing.
He's in New York for the World Series of Darts , which takes place on May 31-June 1 at The Theatre at the iconic Madison Square Garden.Ahead of the competition, the 17-year-old phenom spoke to Helwani, where he touched on a range of topics.And he's even open to the idea of boxing in the influencer scene and named TikToker Beavo as his dream opponent.
Beavo - real name Brandon Beavis - has become a TikTok celebrity for filming himself eating food without chewing very much or at all.Pressed on if he prefers influencer boxing to regular boxing, 'The Nuke' added: "I think the influencers have come from nowhere and some of them have got a bit about themselves."
Asked if he'd lace up a pair of gloves for an influencer fight, he said: "Boxing? I would love to... Why not?!Helwani then pushed Littler for an opponent. After joking about Michael 'MVG' van Gerwen and Michael 'Bully Boy' Smith as potential foes, the teenage sensation opted for Beavo. "Beavo... he just swallows potatoes whole on TikTok," he said, before revealing: "He actually messaged me on TikTok saying 'do you want to eat a kebab together'... I just ignored him."
