Peter Wright has lifted the lid on what Luke Humphries told him after his magnificent 4-1 victory over the defending champion to reach the Paddy Power World Darts Championship quarter-finals. Having defeated Jermaine Wattimena in the third round, Wright delivered a darting masterclass to dump out world number one Humphries, averaging 100.93 across the match.

Wright’s outstanding display was made all the more impressive by the fact he has been struggling with a nasty chest infection throughout the early rounds at London’s Alexandra Palace. Two-time champion Snakebite had been vocal in the media heading into the match, insisting he was more than capable of causing an upset and did not fear either Humphries or Luke Littler, last year’s runner-up.

Humphries hit back, brushing off Wright’s apparent attempt ‘mind games’, but it appears it all forgotten about when the pair embraced on the stage in the immediate aftermath of their thrilling contest. ‘Yeah, he was just saying that the media get carried away with silly comments,’ Wright told talkSPORT shortly after his win.
‘He said that he didn’t say the things that it actually came across like. ‘I said Luke exactly the same, that is just the way it goes some time. He wished me all the best. ‘He’s a lovely guy, a real family guy and I wish him all the best moving forward.
