Iconic UK Acts Eyed for Fury-Joshua Fight After Dua Lipa Pullout
Dua Lipa's involvement is off the table, with British icons like Noel Gallagher or Elton John in the running to perform at the Fury-Joshua showdown in London.
The Fury-Joshua bout could feature a star-studded musical performance, with British icons such as Noel Gallagher or Elton John among those considered to entertain fans. Dua Lipa is no longer set to perform, and Fury’s manager said a number of artists are being explored, including Robbie Williams and Rod Stewart. Spencer Brown told Sky Sports that while initial plans for Dua Lipa fell through, British fans will still be treated to an iconic night.
We’re told the team would like to secure an iconic UK act for the show – someone like Noel Gallagher, Robbie Williams, Manic Street Preachers, Elton John or Rod Stewart – but the final choice depends on Turki Alalshikh and Netflix, because without them, none of this would be possible. Brown vowed that one of these artists would likely step in, promising “an iconic night of British boxing, a fantastic spectacle.”
Promoters have been teasing this dream matchup for almost a decade, with Eddie Hearn confirming the bout is on the calendar for before the end of the year. London venues Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Wembley are among the discussed locations for a fight that would mark a landmark night for British boxing. Fury, who emerged from retirement to defeat Arslanbek Makhmudov in London earlier this month, remains focused on a high-stakes clash that could redefine heavyweight history.
