"We will never be best friends again, but we do act normal to each other" - Mike De Decker looks back on incident with Kim Huybrechts
PDCWednesday, 23 October 2024 at 08:00
Mike De Decker was a guest on Tuesday night's program 'De Tafel van Gert' on the commercial channel VIER. In it, the 28-year-old Belgian looked back on his fight with Kim Huybrechts, among other things.
Last year a video suddenly surfaced in which Huybrechts and De Decker got into a fight. This received a lot of backlash in the media and after both men gave their version of the facts the storm subsided again.
On "De Tafel van Gert," Gert Verhulst's talk show, De Decker returned to this infamous incident one last time. "Actually, I reacted to it then and this case was a closed chapter for me. But since you ask anyway, Kim and I will never be best friends again, too much has happened for that. But we do act normal to each other again. Last weekend I saw him at the Czech Darts Open and then we do say hello to each other and ask how things are going."
Mike De Decker recently won the World Grand Prix
"It's also better this way," De Decker continued. "We're going to run into each other a lot on the Pro Tour in the coming years and then it's better that you can get along normally."
World Championship
De Decker was also asked about his ambitions for the upcoming World Darts Championship. "I realize my status has changed after winning the World Grand Prix. There will be a lot more eyes on me now than before. But I don't care about that and remain calm under it. I am also realistic enough to realize that my victory at the World Grand Prix is no guarantee of a strong World Cup, after all, the level is so incredibly high these days that on a down day you can also just lose to a much lower ranked player."

- Yep... that is correct... that XY male will be at home with the other men.MrYnyslas197123-10-2024
- True, Richie. Broke my heart when Mr Senna lost his life,,, the man cared about others too. Senna had an Austrian flag in his car and was going to do a lap of honour in memory of Roland Ratzenberger, who tragically lost his life on the same weekend, sadly, Senna never got the chance. Mr Senna would have surpassed Schumacher—no doubt.MrYnyslas197123-10-2024
- What a undignified way to bow out of the darts for the greatest darts player ever, absolutely the best. Nobody was as dedicated or committed or even half as good as Phil. He completely dominated darts, not only the greatest darts player ever but also one of the greatest sportsman ever. Ayrton Senna is my ultimate hero but Phil won 16 World Championships, Eric only won 5 and that won't be surpassed. Thank you Phil, not my most favourite player but certainly the greatest and loved watching you completely destroy every opponent, almost never missed a treble or any check out. Stoke definitely needs a statue of Phil Taylor !richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- I don't have a problem with someone being whoever they want to be, but ultimately there is a Ladies and Mens format for a reason. What is going to stop substandard men claiming that they are transgender and entering the ladies format for an opportunity to increase their profile, prize money, ranking etc etc. We know that the current crop of PDC players will suck up to van Leuven and will not speak out.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- The bottom line is Beau will be a triple World Champion soon. She is so many levels better than the rest of the ladies. Lorraine and Aileen have never really raised their game, I really expected the quality of the ladies game to have improved but excluding Beau, it seems to have detiorated. Beau is too modest and could easily mix with the men and beat most of them.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
