Audacious Kim Huybrechts Attacks World Championship Chiefs Over Controversial New Rule, Threatens to Boycott Opening Night

In a stunning outburst ahead of the 2024 PDC World Darts Championship, Belgian darts star Kim Huybrechts has launched a fierce attack on the tournament organizers, vowing not to take to the oche on the opening night if a controversial new rule isn’t overturned.

The 44-year-old, known for his fiery temperament, lashed out at the PDC’s decision to implement a rule change that would affect how players are introduced on stage. According to Huybrechts, the new format is “disrespectful” to the players and undermines the tradition of the World Championship.

“I’m not here to play by someone else’s rules if they don’t respect the players and the fans. This rule is an insult to the game,” Huybrechts declared. “If I’m not given the respect I deserve, I won’t walk on that stage on opening night, simple as that.”

The new rule, which has yet to be fully explained by the PDC, is rumored to alter player introductions and potentially limit the time players can spend on stage before a match begins. While many players have voiced their concerns privately, Huybrechts is the first to publicly threaten a boycott.

“To be clear, I am ready to make a stand,” Huybrechts added. “If this rule isn’t retracted, I’ll stay in the back. I won’t play their game.”

The statement has caused a stir in the darts world, with some fans backing Huybrechts’ stance while others worry about the impact of a potential disruption to the tournament’s opening. With the championship set to begin in just days, all eyes are now on the PDC to see how they will respond to the audacious threat.

Will Kim Huybrechts follow through on his bold declaration, or will the PDC rethink its controversial rule change before the event kicks off? Only time will tell.
