Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are set to clash in Britain’s biggest heavyweight bout, but the event’s headline act will change. Former champion Dua Lipa has declined the invitation, forcing organisers to seek another UK icon.

Turki Alalshikh, the Saudi financier staging the fight, demanded a star performer. With Lipa out, Fury’s manager Spencer Brown is courting names like Noel Gallagher, Robbie Williams, and Elton John to keep the spectacle alive.

The bout, slated for a stadium such as Tottenham Hotspur, has already been "signed, sealed, and delivered" by promoter Eddie Hearn. Joshua’s next fight is a July 25 match against Kristian Prenga, after recovering from a serious accident that claimed teammates.

Despite the change in entertainment, the boxing showdown remains intact. Fans can expect a historic night at the stadium, with the heavyweight rivalry finally materialising after a decade of postponements.
