Adrian Lewis, the renowned two-time PDC World Darts Champion, has made headlines recently for losing over 20 kilograms in just 14 months. This significant weight loss marks a pivotal moment in his life as he aims to return to competitive darts, having stepped away from the sport in 2023.
Lewis’s journey towards a healthier lifestyle includes walking regularly and avoiding alcohol, which he credits for his remarkable transformation. “Over the last 14 months, I’ve lost about three and a half stone (22.2kg),” Lewis stated, highlighting his commitment to improving his health.
After a successful career spanning 20 years, which included victories in the UK Open and European Championship, Lewis faced challenges that led him to take a break from competitive play. He lost his PDC Tour card at the start of 2025 due to inactivity, a decision that has fueled his determination to return to the sport.
Looking ahead, Lewis aims to re-enter the PDC Tour through Q School in 2027. “I think I needed a break. After 20 years, I definitely needed it. Now I feel refreshed, and I just want to go back and enjoy it,” he expressed, indicating his eagerness to return to the competitive scene.
His comeback began in August last year when he participated in the MODUS Super Series, signaling his readiness to re-engage with the sport he loves. Lewis’s journey not only reflects personal growth but also serves as an inspiration to many who face similar challenges.
As Lewis prepares for his future in darts, the community is eager to see how his new lifestyle will impact his performance. Fellow dart player Glen Durrant commented on the significance of walk-on songs in the sport, suggesting that even small factors can influence a player’s performance.
While details about Lewis’s upcoming plans remain unconfirmed, his dedication to returning to the PDC Tour is clear. Fans and fellow competitors alike are watching closely as he embarks on this new chapter in his career.
