La Velada del Año 6: Ibai Llanos brings 10-fight boxing card and music to Seville's La Cartuja

Overview

La Velada del Año 6, the annual boxing and entertainment event organized by Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos, takes place on Saturday 25 July 2026 at Seville's Estadio La Cartuja. One source (La Razón) lists the date as Sunday 26 July, but the majority of reports and the official schedule point to Saturday. The event will feature 10 amateur boxing matches with 20 participants from Spain, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Puerto Rico and El Salvador, alongside musical performances. Over 80,000 spectators are expected at the venue, which hosted the previous edition as well.

Main event and co-main

The headline bout pits IlloJuan against TheGrefg, two of Spain's most popular streamers. TheGrefg, who defeated WestCOL in the 2025 edition, brings prior ring experience, while IlloJuan makes his boxing debut. The two are close friends, and IlloJuan, a Málaga native with 4.5 million Twitch followers, has undergone a physical transformation for the fight. TheGrefg, from Murcia, commands 12.5 million followers across platforms and has built several digital businesses. The co-main event sees Spanish creator Plex face Fernanfloo, a pioneering YouTuber from El Salvador returning to the event after competing in the third Velada. Plex, from Zaragoza, rose to fame with travel documentaries that have garnered millions of views; the fight is being framed as a clash between two generations of internet content.

Undercard highlights

The card opens with a journalist showdown: Edu Aguirre (38), a Spanish reporter for El Chiringuito and friend of Cristiano Ronaldo, takes on Gastón Edul (30), an Argentine journalist from TyC Sports known for covering Lionel Messi. The matchup channels the long-running Ronaldo-Messi rivalry into the ring. Other notable male bouts include singer Lit Killah against Kidd Keo, and Viruzz versus Gero Arias.

Women's fights

The women's side features several returning and new faces. Fabiana Sevillano, a 24-year-old Sevillian with 1 million Instagram and 2 million TikTok followers, faces Colombian creator La Parce. Catalan TikToker Clerss (Clara Merino, 24) meets Mexican influencer Natalia MX (26). Also on the card: Marta Díaz (25) vs Tatiana Käer (22), and appearances by Samy Rivers, RoRo, Alondrissa, and Angie Velasco.

Music and production

Five major musical acts are confirmed, though the full lineup and performance order remain undisclosed. Organisers have promised surprise guest appearances throughout the evening. The event begins at 19:00 local time, with fights and concerts interwoven during breaks for ring preparation. The official weigh-in and face-offs are scheduled for Friday 24 July.
