Fury vs Joshua: Iconic UK act eyed for fight night
Dua Lipa out of plans; promoters pursue an iconic UK act—Noel Gallagher, Elton John, Robbie Williams or Rod Stewart for the Fury-Joshua boxing spectacle.
Promoters are hoping Fury vs Joshua will be more than a boxing match—a music moment too. After Dua Lipa was initially lined up to perform, she is no longer expected to take the stage. Fury’s manager, Spencer Brown, told Sky Sports that the search is on for an iconic UK act to headline the night. Names floated include Noel Gallagher, Robbie Williams, Manic Street Preachers, Elton John, and Rod Stewart, with decisions resting with Turki Alalshikh and Netflix.
Brown stressed that any choice would only come if the deal is workable, but he believes British fans will back whoever steps in. The parties are aiming for an end-of-year show at either London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium or Wembley, though a final date and venue are not yet locked in. Fury, who returned from retirement to beat Arslanbek Makhmudov in London earlier this month, remains set on delivering a defining night in British boxing.
With both fighters active and swarming headlines, promoters promise an 'iconic night' and a blockbuster spectacle that could redefine what a boxing event can feel like in the UK.
