Gerwyn Price to step into boxing ring? Former world darts champion puts himself forward for high-profile clash with internet sensation
PDCMonday, 14 September 2026 at 12:00
Gerwyn Price has left the door open for a striking foray into boxing. The 41-year-old Welshman reacted on social media to footage of Jack Kay, better known as Ibiza Final Boss, who claimed his second victory at Misfits Boxing on Saturday night.

Kay faced Kellen Jenkins in Newcastle. The latter was a late replacement. After a tense bout, the judges awarded Ibiza Final Boss the win by split decision. That lifts his Misfits Boxing record to two wins from two fights.
Misfits Boxing shared the result afterwards via its official Instagram account. Among the replies was a comment from Price. The former world darts champion kept it brief but made clear he is interested in a possible bout.
“Sign me up,” wrote ‘The Iceman’, accompanied by a boxing glove emoji.
Price confident in his physical attributes
Whether that reply will actually lead to a fight remains unclear. Price showing interest in boxing, however, is not entirely surprising. The Welshman has previously spoken about his chances in the ring.
Last year, Price set his sights on Jake Paul, the American boxer and social media sensation. At the time, Price said he was far from impressed by Paul. In fact, the darter claimed he could knock out the American with a single punch.
His comment on Ibiza Final Boss fits with the confidence Price has previously expressed about his physical potential beyond the oche.
Kay, by contrast, has been actively trying to make his mark in boxing. The Brit first found fame under the name Ibiza Final Boss after videos of his party exploits on Ibiza went viral. His striking persona brought him major attention on social media, after which he also surfaced at Misfits Boxing.

Following his win over Jenkins, Kay now stands at two victories from as many contests.

From rugby to pool
Price himself has an athletic background that extends beyond darts alone. Before his breakthrough on the circuit, the Welshman played rugby.
Pool also has his interest. Price previously entered the UK Pool Championship and planned to compete. In the end, he had to withdraw shortly before his match due to preparations for the Premier League Darts play-offs.

- He wasn't "offered £501,000 to face Luke Littler". He was allowed to audition for the chance. That's not the same. Literally like saying I was offered a no.1 single, when actually I decided not to attend an open casting for the X factor.BandB13-09-2026
- I loved Jan and loved his walk on music "Explode" by Jordan & Baker. I think if he stuck around the BDO he definitely would have been World Champion, should have won in 2014, he never really showed any of his talent in the PDC. I remembered he worked in a bank or in finance and maybe that was his priority, he was also a fan and interested in magic. Definitely should have achieved much more in darts than he did. Wherever you are nowadays Jan, hope all is well and I was always a fan.richieburnettrocks11-09-2026
- Not much of a tournament really,is it? Now they've all pulled out,it's open for everyone. I'm sure if you bought tickets,you'd be disappointed. Doesn't that seem to bother the withdrawals? Not at all!!rick6710-09-2026
- Need to see her take part in the womens tour. She'll break the inernet.medinabello08-09-2026
- If he can be bothered? He won't play darts in Germany yet he'll go over and get an award!??rick6702-09-2026
- Why is this the main story? He chose not to compete in loads of tournaments,yes he's number 1 in the world,but he does have to turn up at tournaments! Play the next world championship in Dortmund and see if he turns up!!rick6727-08-2026
- This is exactly what I mean,littler survives the 1st round,I think you'll find a lot of other players did. Can you just report on the real sport,and not just 1 person. I like Luke,but this is getting boring now,as Kevin painter once said to Taylor!! The sport is about every player,not 1 who everyone seems to have put the sport on the map.,which he hasn't,he's just got in when the money is massive. Great as he is,it seems like what's the point in anyone trying,he's going to win everything,unless it's in Germany or Australia!!!rick6726-08-2026
- I mean look, Littler's picture is first,wattimena is second and he won! Level it up. I know littler is fantastic,but the sport was here before him,and will be when he's retired. Any player in the top 64/128 can beat each other,it's not big news. Poor Jermaine,wins it,and not even the headline!!rick6726-08-2026
- I appreciate that littler is a fantastic player,but the top 3 articles are about him. Before he'd thrown a dart in the tournament. Level it out a bit, Taylor and van gerwen soon got disliked as the media could only see them,and nobody else seemed to matterrick6725-08-2026
- The two-point Lucky Loser qualifiers are Ross Smith, Robb, Whitlock, Sakai, Ilagan and Toylo. Jermaine is not on the entries list on Dartconnect for the TCH qualifier so the four from the main OoM are probably Searle, Nijman, Dobey, Wattimena.Scoobedybop24-08-2026
