Darts royalty Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor believes that rising star Josh Rock is destined to be crowned king at Alexandra Palace.
The Antrim ‘Rocky’ will be one of the most feared upstarts when the PDC World Championship begins on Thursday night. World number 47 Rock faces Jose Justicia (112) in the first round on Saturday and has been priced as low as 16/1 to land the greatest prize in darts this year.
And Taylor, whose record of 16 world titles is unlikely ever to be broken, thinks it is only a matter of time before 21-year-old Rock becomes the Oche Balboa of his trade.
