- Since his initial victory, the 18-year-old has dominated the sport, securing multiple major titles and ascending to the world number one ranking.
- Littler stated that “no one” can get under his skin, and that attempts by opponents to engage in “dark arts” or mind games do not affect him and instead serve to motivate him further.
- He cited an incident with Ricardo Pietreczko, whose comments during a match spurred Littler on to secure the win.
- Littler warned that any other players attempting similar psychological tactics would likely face the same outcome, as he remains focused on his game.
