    World number one and defending champion Luke Humphries has been dumped out of the World Darts Championships at the round of 16 stage


    The Englishman's suffered a four sets to one defeat to veteran Peter Wright - himself a two-time world title holder - at London's Alexandra Palace.

    The 54-year-old Scot hasn't been at his best this year - and says he was out to prove he can still compete against the best in the world.
