'He just eats potatoes on TikTok'
LUKE LITTLER has called out social media star Beavo for a boxing fight.
Littler, 17, has taken the world by storm after exploding on to the darts scene last Christmas.
But he's already eyeing a switch to the boxing ring.
On a trip Stateside ahead of the US Darts Masters, Littler was asked who he'd choose to fight while appearing on Ariel Helwani's MMA podcast.
And, waving off suggestions of Michael van Gerwen and Michael Smith, he instead chose TikTok sensation Beavo.
Littler said: "It's like a proper person, it's not a darts player.
"Do I like him? Nah. Beavo.

Littler's next appearance on the oche will come at the Poland Masters - which gets underway on June 14.
But he already has one eye on celebrity boxing after calling out TikTok star Beavo.
