Dua Lipa to Miss Joshua vs Fury Bout at Wembley

Pop star Dua Lipa is set to miss the highly anticipated heavyweight boxing match between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, which is targeted to take place at Wembley Stadium in October 2024. The singer, who is 30 years old, has declined an invitation to perform at the event.

There was a brief link made by Turki Al Sheikh suggesting that the fight could be at risk without a promotional agreement, although it remains unclear if his remarks were serious or made in jest. The bout is expected to be one of the biggest paydays in the fighters' careers, with promoter Frank Warren warning that a defeat for Joshua in the summer could derail the long-discussed clash.

The event is part of a trend where major music acts are featured in modern boxing spectacles, with past examples including Eminem and 50 Cent.
