Eddie Hearn talks to one of the best darts players of all time, Michael van Gerwen. \u201cMighty Mike\u201d is a three-time PDC World Champion, and in May 2023 made Premier League darts history with his seventh title, beating Phil Taylor\u2019s record of six.

At just 17 years old he won the 2006 World Masters and threw a nine-dart finish in the 2007 Masters of Darts \u2013 the youngest player to do both. In 2014, at the age of 24, van Gerwen became the youngest winner of the PDC World Championship, a record he still holds, as well as being one of only five players to win it more than once.

He tells Eddie that other players might be better at one thing or another \u2013 but he believes he\u2019s the only player with both great technical ability and strong mental attitude.
