Mike De Decker, the 28-year-old Belgian darts player, is embracing his underdog status as he prepares to face reigning champion Luke Humphries in the BoyleSports World Grand Prix final. De Decker has had a remarkable breakthrough week in Leicester, defeating seasoned players like Damon Heta, Gary Anderson, James Wade, and fellow Belgian Dimitri Van den Bergh to reach his first televised final. After surviving match darts in his opening round and dominating subsequent matches, De Decker now aims to become the second Belgian player to win a major PDC title, following in Van den Bergh’s footsteps.

Despite acknowledging the formidable challenge posed by world number one Humphries, De Decker is optimistic and relaxed, knowing the pressure is not on him. Humphries, who is looking to defend his title after a stellar semi-final win against Ryan Joyce, comes in as the heavy favorite. However, De Decker remains confident that playing with less pressure might allow him to enjoy the game and potentially pull off an upset. The final promises to be an exciting showdown between the reigning champion and the underdog who has impressed throughout the tournament.
