Wayne Warren has told BDO bosses that until he gets the rest of the money he usually would have received for winning the World Championship the trophy is not going anywhere.
Warren who won the title this time last year defeating Jim Williams in the final received only £23,000 compared to £100,000 for Glen Durrant the year before that when they were still at Lakeside.
"I should have won £100,000 from the BDO. Plus I could have generated more money from exhibitions. It would have been life-changing for me at my age in this sport. The way I have been treated by the BDO is an absolute disgrace," said Warren to SunSport.
"I can tell you where the trophy is, it's sitting on my living-room table at home. It won't be moved from there until I get my money. That cup is going nowhere, let me tell you that."
"I had looked forward to the rest of 2020 but it has been a killer. It was strange. I feel sorry for the amateur side of the sport with what has happened with the BDO darts."
Furious Wayne Warren has told BDO bosses who slashed his 2020 prize money: I’m keeping your trophy as my compensation. The Welshman accused darts chiefs of ‘disgusting treatment’ after he was paid £23,000 for winning the world title, £77,000 less than Glen Durrant earned in 2019
