BRADFORD pro Joe Cullen will face Holland's Jelle Klaasen in his sixth attempt to win a match at the William Hill PDC World Darts Championship.
The former Wyke postman has lost at the first stage in his previous five appearances at Alexandra Palace but gave top seed Michael van Gerwen a real scare last year.
Cullen lost 3-1 but won nine of the 20 legs with a 93.14 average, which included four maximums.
Klassen was the youngest ever darts world champion when he won the BDO competition as a 21-year-old in 2006. But his best finish in the PDC version was a quarter-final six years ago.
