LUKE'S SET FOR BATTLE

LUKE HUMPHRIES will fix bayonets, strap on his tin helmet and go over the top tonight for his own version of a classic film: Oh, What A Lovely War! When Cool Hand Luke lost his No.1 spot in the world rankings to Luke Littler last month, he announced he was ready to “go to war” with The Nuke to regain his place at the summit.

In truth, the Lukes of Hazard are the best of enemies.

LUKE HUMPHRIES will fix bayonets, strap on his tin helmet and go over the top tonight for his own version of a classic film: Oh, What A Lovely War!

When Humphries launches his PDC World Championship crusade against Ted Evetts, the ‘war’ zone will be no more raging than Private Godfrey offering the platoon his sister Dolly’s upside down cakes in Dad’s Army.

But make no mistake: He’s after Littler’s crown at Alexandra Palace.
