Luke Littler has hilariously named the influencer he wants to fight having expressed his interest in boxing.

Fresh off winning the Premier League, where he hit a stunning nine-darter against Luke Humphries in the final, Littler joined Ariel Helwani in studio on The MMA Hour.

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.

From winning the Premier League title to his love for Manchester United, who beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final last weekend.

Littler also revealed that he's a big fight fan as he plans to attend UFC 304 in Manchester, England.

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.

People tune in to watch him wolf down everything from roast dinners to KFC and desserts.

Asked if he likes influencer boxing, having attended Misfits 12 in Leeds earlier this year, Littler replied: "Yeah."

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."

Littler vs Beavo... make it happen!
