00:00Mike Dedecker came close to hanging up his darts for good in recent years, but those
00:07thoughts are behind him now as he is a major champion thanks to his stunning World Grand
00:12Prix success in Leicester.
00:15The 28-year-old shocked world number one Luke Humphries to claim a 6-4 win and complete
00:20by far the greatest week of his career to date.
00:24Not only did the Belgian beat the world champion in the final, he produced a string of excellent
00:28results to reach the showpiece, downing Damon Hetta, Gary Anderson, James Wade and Dmitry
00:34Vandenberg along the way.
00:36I've been crying backstage. There was a moment I was going to cry just two minutes ago, Dedecker
00:42told a post-match press conference. I'm over the moon. I got this trophy. I got a major
00:48title and I'm lost for words.
00:50He now looks ahead to a possible invitation to the 2025 Premier League and says he'd be
00:56silly to turn down the opportunity.
