Dua Lipa ‘rejects offer to perform’ at Joshua vs Fury super-fight

  • Pop star Dua Lipa has reportedly declined an offer to perform at the highly anticipated boxing super-fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
  • Saudi matchmaker Turki Alalshikh had expressed a keen desire for the British singer to be part of the event.
  • Sky Sports reported that Alalshikh had allegedly threatened to pull the plug on the fight if Dua Lipa did not participate, though this claim may have been made in jest.
  • The BBC reported that the three-time Grammy winner was approached for the event but ultimately turned down the offer.
  • While Fury and Joshua have signed a contract to fight, no date or location has been confirmed, with Joshua scheduled to box Kristian Prengai in July before facing Fury later in 2026.
