JOE CULLEN dodged post-match interviews after his nail-biting loss to Gerwyn Price. The Yorkshireman crashed out of the PDC World Championships following a seven-set epic on Friday night. Cullen battled back from 0-3 down at Ally Pally to force a decider in front of a partisan crowd.
Both players struggled on the doubles before former champion Price squeaked through to the last 16. After the loss, Cullen opted against a post-match chat with Sky Sports. It came just days after he shared an excruciating on-stage interview with Sky host Abigail Davies.
The 35-year-old went viral for his terse responses to Davies' questioning after his Round 2 win over Wessel Nijman. Cullen wrote on social media after the exchange: "Myself and Abi get on brilliant. He added: "I briefed Abi before the interview started that I wouldn't be giving her much.".
Price did join Davies on stage after his dramatic win, which was sealed by winning a rare sudden-death leg. BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS. The Welshman joked: "I can play a lot better than I played tonight, so can Joe. No disrespect to him... nobody wants to disrespect Joe Cullen these days.".
Davies quipped back: "I certainly learned the hard way!". Following his Round 2 defeat last week, Cullen took aim at the assembled press in his post-match press conference before storming out. The Rockstar claimed he had been given "no respect" going into his match with Nejman, where he was a surprise underdog.
