‘Bully Boy’ was involved in the greatest leg of darts ever when he defeated Michael van Gerwen to win the 2023 World Championship at Alexandra Palace.
But Smith has been suffering from a barren spell since finishing as runner-up to Luke Littler at last year’s World Series of Darts Finals, falling to world No 21 in the process.
Darting Promotions released a statement on Smith with an injury update.
