Edu Aguirre defeats Gastón Edul by split decision at La Velada del Año VI in Sevilla
The streaming‑driven boxing showcase La Velada del Año VI, organised by Ibai Llanos, was held on 25 July 2026 at the Estadio La Cartuja in Sevilla. The headline bout pitted Spanish sports journalist Edu Aguirre against Argentine journalist Gastón Edul. After three three‑minute rounds, four of the five judges gave the win to Aguirre and one voted for Edul, resulting in a split‑decision victory for Aguirre.
Edul, who had covered the 2026 World Cup in the United States, complained that his preparation was compromised by travel, asked for a rematch under equal conditions, and used the post‑fight platform to proclaim “Las Malvinas son argentinas” and to urge Lionel Messi to stay with the national team. The Spanish crowd repeatedly booed Edul during the fight.
The event was broadcast free worldwide on Ibai’s Twitch, YouTube and TikTok channels. In addition to the Aguirre‑Edul clash, other fights attracted attention: Plex triumphed over Fernanfloo, and Gero Arias knocked out Viruzz. Overall, the programme featured ten bouts, musical performances and drew millions of viewers across Latin America and Europe.
