BREAKING NEWS: Anthony Joshua’s firm extends a “multi-million-pound offer” to Luke Littler.

Luke Littler might be in line for another huge paycheck following his amazing run at the World Darts Championship.

Anthony Joshua’s production company is rumoured to have offered Luke Littler a multi-million-pound offer to purchase the rights to his narrative, with the intention of making a movie about Joshua’s amazing journey to the World Darts Championship. The 16-year-old made it to the competition final on his debut, winning over millions of fans before losing to Luke Humphries.

According to The Sun, Joshua’s production company SBX Studios put up a bid of more than £1 million on Wednesday to get the movie rights to Littler’s tale. Following his 7–4 loss against Humphries on Sky Sports, which attracted 15 million viewers, they are not the only ones to have placed an offer.

In addition, the network is developing a documentary about Littler in the vein of Wayne Rooney, which delves behind the scenes at Alexandra Palace. This comes after Sky revealed that this year’s final was its highest-rated non-football sporting event ever, with 4.8 million views.

According to reports, Joshua and SBX Studios are certain that they have the best offer for Littler’s movie rights, which would depict his early years spent in Warrington, Cheshire, and his 18-month love affair with darts.

His run and final at Ally Pally, which paid £200,000, was the result of the big-screen blockbuster, however he was forced to forfeit almost half of the winnings due to income tax. Littler may make up to £40 million from sponsorships, endorsements, and the film rights to his story, according to some estimates. The teenager and his family have not yet decided how to respond to Joshua’s production company’s offer, though.

Littler’s experience is believed to have inspired Joshua, a fellow athlete, and SBX Studios is reportedly eager to work with him. As a result, they made the boy an enticing offer to share his narrative.

Along with Humphries, the reigning champion Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price, Michael Smith, Peter Wright, Rob Cross, and Nathan Aspinall, Littler was just added to the Premier League darts squad. Should he win, the 16-year-old may earn an additional £275,000.

Littler may be in for another big windfall, but for now, he has modest intentions for how he wants to use his money. With his tournament wins, he has already declared that he will use them to buy his friends a trip to Alton Towers and FIFA points.

Littler’s life has taken a significant turn in the last few weeks, but if he teams up with Joshua, it might just be the beginning for the rising darts talent.
