Darts star forced to play in jeans and trainers and share Van Barneveld’s gear after suitcase ends up 300 miles away
MAIK KUIVENHOVEN was forced to play it casual at the Czech Darts Open – after his threads ended up 300 miles away in Frankfurt.
The 36-year-old was a late replacement to take on Raymond van Barneveld in Prague on Saturday night.
Kuivenhoven stepped in after Gerwyn Price was forced to pull out of the tournament due to a neck injury.
The Dutchman was rushed in from the reserve list, racing across Europe to make the last-32 clash.
But due to a mix-up at the airport, his suitcase was sent hundreds of miles away to Frankfurt, Germany.
Kuivenhoven was therefore without his usual clothes – and even had to borrow Barney’s darts for their showdown at the PVA EXPO Arena.
Soldiering on despite the tough circumstances, the World No. 71 strode to the Oche in a PDC-issued polo, black jeans and white trainers.
And he gave five-time world champ Barney a real scare, despite not using his own set of arrows.
Van Barneveld held on for a nervy 6-4 win, writing on X after the game: “Tonight was tough.
“Maik played amazing considering all that happened.

“Called up at the last moment. Getting there just before the game.
“His suitcase went to Frankfurt with his darts things in it. He played with my @TargetDarts.
“[He] played fantastic all things considered. Huge respect for him.”
One fan wrote on X: “Very good from Kuivenhoven considering the circumstances.”
Another said: “This is darts heritage.”
While a third added: “I thought that was so cool he played with your darts. One of the best sets of darts anyway, but a cool thing to see you two playing the same barrels.”
Kuivenhoven is currently ranked 71st in the world.
He has been on the PDC Tour card since 2019 and earlier this year reached the third round of the UK Open.
The Dutchman memorably beat Luke Littler last month, snapping the teenage sensation’s 15-match winning streak.
KSI’s team set for talks with Tommy Fury for rematch as Love Island star offered shock route back into boxing by rival
KSI and Tommy Fury could be heading for a huge rematch with talks to take place between the two camps.
Fury became the first to hand YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI defeat in the ring after his controversial points victory in October.
The 2019 Love Island star – who is in the midst of a break up with Molly-Mae Hague – has since had hand surgery which sidelined him.
But Fury is back training and wants to make a comeback by January – with KSI’s manager and Misfits Boxing boss Mams Taylor is ready for talks.
Taylor told SunSport: “I think Tommy would do really well on the Misfits roster. And I know our teams are in touch with their team.
“So watch this space. Let’s see what happens.”
Fury, 25, won a disputed six-round decision over KSI, 31, fuelling demand for a second bout.
And Taylor added: “And as far as KSI and Tommy, I think when the time is right, that rematch definitely should happen.
“Till this day people are still very divided about that result.”
A rematch could follow as quickly as 2025 but Fury is also linked with another fight against Jake Paul, 27, who beat by split-decision last year too.

KSI meanwhile has also not fought since his first loss having had a similar painful hand problem.
It meant he is unable to fight on Misfits Boxing’s “super card” in Qatar on November 28.
British boxing legend and former world champion Amir Khan, 37, was a rumoured opponent but KSI was forced out with injury.
Taylor said: “JJ’s spent a lot of time nursing that hand injury taking time to make sure that he’s 100 per cent and doesn’t have to fight with a hand injury when he faces an opponent of that kind of calibre.
“It’s not something that you want to take lightly so we spoke to the doctors and kind of got a gage of when he can be ready and in optimum shape.”

Sir Chris Hoy speaks out to ‘reassure’ fans hours after revealing he has terminal cancer and just four years to live
CYCLING legend Sir Chris Hoy has spoken out to reassure fans hours after he revealed he has terminal cancer.
The six-time Olympic gold medallist, 48, announced yesterday he has just four years to live.
Sir Chris is currently in Copenhagen covering the World Track Cycling Championships for the BBC – and will be on TV this afternoon.
He has posted a photo alongside some of the broadcasting team from the Ballerup Super Arena and said it’s “great to be out”.
He told fans: “You may see in the news this weekend some articles about my health, so I just wanted to reassure you all that I’m feeling fit, strong and positive, and overwhelmed by all the love and support shown to my family and me.”
Sir Chris had said in February he was being “treated for cancer” and claimed it was going well – though knew in reality it was “management”.
He went on to commentate the cycling events for the BBC at this year’s Paris Olympics despite his terminal cancer diagnosis.
It comes after the dad-of-two revealed his wife Sarra was diagnosed with incurable and degenerative multiple sclerosis.
They have not told their kids, seven-year-old Chloe and 10-year-old Callum.
He told the Sunday Times: “As unnatural as it feels, this is nature.
“You know, we were all born and we all die, and this is just part of the process.
“You remind yourself, aren’t I lucky that there is medicine I can take that will fend this off for as long as possible.”
DIAGNOSIS
The star had gone to the doctor in September last year after feeling a strain in his shoulder.
A tumour was found in his shoulder – before a second scan found the primary cancer in his prostate.
The prostate cancer had metastasised to Sir Chris’s bones – including his shoulder, pelvis, ribs, and spine.
Sir Chris recounted how he told his children that no-one lives for ever but he hopes to “be here for many, many more years”.
He began chemotherapy in November, wearing an extremely painful cold cap to keep his hair.
The sportsman suffered a violent allergic reaction in gruelling chemo sessions – but only missed five days of training on a bike.
How Chris Hoy went from lad on £5 bike inspired by ET to 6-time Olympic champion
By Jonathan Rose
SIR Chris Hoy began cycling at the age of six after he was inspired by the 1982 film ET.
Before he moved on to track cycling, he rode a BMX bike until the age of 15.
Sir Chris was ranked second in Britain, fifth in Europe and ninth in the World.
His dad picked up a £5 bike from a jumble sale – four years later Sir Chris was competing in the semi-final of a BMX world championship race.
“I was six when I saw ET,” he told The Guardian in 2020. “It changed my life. I wasn’t interested in cycling at all before.”
“The bikes I’d seen in Edinburgh just seemed functional things for getting from A to B,” continued Hoy, who grew up in Murrayfield.
“Then I saw those BMX bikes on screen and I was hooked. It wasn’t the scene where they cycle across the sky, but when they get chased by the police and they’re doing jumps and skidding round corners.
“It was the most exciting thing I’d ever seen. I wanted to do that.”
Four years later he became part of the British national squad.
A world championship medal came in 1999 with silver in the team sprint.
Sir Chris went on to become the second most decorated Olympic cyclist of all time.
Well-wishes for the BBC pundit have poured in since his health announcement.
Sir Mark Cavendish, who holds the record for most stages won in the Tour de France, hailed Sir Chris as a “hero of a human being”.
Amy Joy Williams, MBE, the British former skeleton racer and Olympic gold medallist, added: “A pure superhuman who everyone loves. x”
And, Paddy McGuinness shared: “Some man”, as Dame Kelly Holmes wrote: “Sending love to you Chris.” While comedian Jack Whitehall penned: “Sending you all the love mate.”
SARRA’S MS
Sir Chris and Sarra have chosen low-risk but less effective treatments for Sarra’s MS.
On some days Sarra struggles to fit in the key in the door, Sir Chris said.
The couple have not yet told their two children about Sarra’s MS diagnosis.
Sir Chris has also now written a heartbreaking memoir detailing his experience of terminal cancer.
He said recording the audio version of his memoir is the hardest thing he has ever done.
The book ends with Sir Chris’s message to his children – which he said will be the words they listen to when he is gone.
All That Matters: My Toughest Race Yet by Sir Chris Hoy is published on November 7.

Brit tourist dies on mountain hike after collapsing in front of horrified wife and friends in Spain
A BRITISH tourist has died during a hike in northern Spain with his wife and two friends.
His horrified partner alerted the emergency services after he collapsed during the walk near the small town of Anguiano in the province of La Rioja.
The 73-year-old was reportedly by the Valvanera Monastery guesthouse at the time.
Medical responders, police and firefighters were mobilised but there was nothing they could do to save the Brit holidaymaker and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The alarm was sounded around 3pm yesterday.
An autopsy is expected to take place today.
Well-placed sources said there was nothing pointing to the death being suspicious in any way.
The hikers were understood to have been walking a route between the Valvanera Monastery, nestled in the Sierra de la Demanda mountains, and Los Pancrudos which is a succession of four mountains all above 6,500ft high.
It comes after a British holidaymaker drowned after being swept into the sea by a wave during a coastline stroll in Menorca.
The 72-year-old was knocked off his feet on rocks near a landmark sea arch on the north side of Ciutadella bay called Pont d’en Gil.
Residents in a nearby apartment block called 999 after seeing him in difficulties in the water.
The sea currents took him further away from the coastline and he was already dead by the time firefighters in a dinghy reached him.
His body was taken to Ciutadella Port where he was formally pronounced dead.
The tragedy happened around 1pm on Friday.
He was thought to have been staying in a four-star hotel, just a five-minute drive away in Cala d’en Blanes.
Cops have launched a routine investigation co-ordinated by a local court but have not yet made any official comment.
Meanwhile, an injured Brit woman was rescued after she was hacked by a boat propeller while diving off a Thai island.
Aimee Louise Bacchetta, 30, was paddling off the idyllic Similan Islands in Phang Nga province when she injured her leg on a whirring boat propeller.
The holidaymaker suffered a deep wound near her right Achilles tendon.
Crew from the speedboat Saracha called the Royal Thai Navy.
Medics were rushed to the scene, where they stopped the bleeding and transported Bacchetta to hospital after carrying her to shore.
She has since been released from hospital and is recovering from the ordeal.
