Gerwyn Price has revealed he is turning to another sport - boxing.
Wales' former world darts champion, who could also have made it big in rugby, has announced he will have his first fight in April.
The 36-year-old revealed on social media that he will take on Rhys 'Cool Fly & Flashy' Evans for his boxing debut at the Valley Tavern in Fleur De Lys.
But Price admitted he will need to lose weight for the April 9 clash, writing in his post: "Need to drop 10kg for this."
Price, who was with the Dragons and part of the Wales under-21 team before turning to oche, will train for and take on the bout in between Premier League darts rounds.
He is due to meet James Wade when the Premier League goes to Leeds two days before the scheduled boxing event and then plays Peter Wright in Manchester one week on.
Price's sporting talent is well known, with former Wales Triple Crown star Mark Ring reckoning he could have been as good a hooker as Ken Owens if he had stuck with rugby and been a little more disciplined.
Ring was Gerwyn's Cross Keys coach when the little Welsh village club made history by reaching the British and Irish Cup final in 2012 and one month on defeated Pontypridd 32-19 at the Millennium Stadium to win the Swalec Cup.
Price was integral to the success the Gwent side, has spoken proudly of playing for Wales under-21s and was on the books of the Dragons and Glasgow Warriors.
"In my view he could have been right up there with Ken Owens - and that's saying something because I really rate Ken, probably as the best hooker in the northern hemisphere," says Ringo.
Price scored a solo wonder try in that cup final win over Ponty and Ring recalls: "Technically Gezzy was brilliant. He threw the ball into a lineout on a sixpence, he was a really good scrummager and his work in the loose was outstanding. He had pace to burn."

After giving up rugby Price focused full-time on darts and his high point to date came last year when he won the World Championship, beating Scotland's Gary Anderson in the final at Alexandra Palace to claim the first prize of £500,000.
He reached the quarter-finals in the defence of his title this time around and hit a nine-dart finish against Michael Smith, but went on to lose the match 5-4.
Price has also turned his hand to rugby league, playing for South Wales Scorpions, and it will be fascinating to see how his venture into boxing goes.
Because of who he is, there will be huge interest in the fight which will take place just up the road from Price's Gwent valleys home
