La Velada del Año VI: 80k fans, Argentine wins

Entities: Estadio La Cartuja · Ibai Llanos · Clara Merino (Clerss) · Gastón Edul · Sevilla

Overview

The sixth La Velada del Año, staged by streamer Ibai Llanos on 25 July 2026 at Sevilla’s Estadio La Cartuja, filled the 80,000‑seat arena and streamed free worldwide to millions on Twitch, YouTube and TikTok.

In the headline bout, Spanish journalist Edu Aguirre edged Argentine reporter Gastón Edul by a 4‑1 split decision after three three‑minute rounds. The lone dissenting judge voted for Edul, who later complained that travel for the 2026 World Cup coverage hampered his preparation, asked for a rematch under equal conditions, proclaimed “Las Malvinas son argentinas,” and urged Lionel Messi to stay with the national team. The Spanish crowd repeatedly booed Edul during the fight.

The undercard featured ten influencer boxing matches, with strong Argentine performances: Gero Arias knocked out Viruzz, Angie Velasco won her match, and Lit Killah prevailed. Plex defeated Fernanfloo, adding another highlight. The sole Argentine loss remained Edul’s split‑decision defeat.

Mid‑event a tribute to the late Argentine creator Gaspi was staged; his mother Michelle Díaz addressed the crowd and a video montage was shown. Influencer Clara Merino (Clerss) made a colorful entrance before losing to Mexican creator Natalia MX. Musical interludes featured Juanes, Bad Gyal, Yandel and Anuel AA, while viral moments included an on‑stage kiss between Aitana and Plex and support from Lola Índigo for Illo Juan. Elaborate entrances with dragons, drag queens and themed costumes added to the spectacle.

Organisers reaffirmed La Velada del Año’s status as a flagship digital‑entertainment spectacle in the Spanish‑speaking world.
