Ibai Llanos has officially announced the much-anticipated details surrounding La Velada del Año 5, set to electrify fans and participants alike on July 26, 2025, at the Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville, Spain. This annual event has become synonymous with excitement and engagement within the streaming community, often showcasing internet personalities taking to the boxing ring.
La Velada del Año 5 marks the first nocturnal edition of the series, beginning at around 20:00 (8 PM) and expected to conclude at approximately 2:00 AM the following day. With the capacity to accommodate around 85,000 spectators, this year’s event promises to deliver fierce competition and entertainment.
The inaugural fight of the evening is set between Pereira from Spain and Rivaldios from Mexico, two well-known content creators whose heated rivalry is expected to ignite fireworks from the start. Following this, the second matchup features Perxitaa against the Argentinian fighter Gaspi, who has recently gained popularity for his unique humor.
Ibai’s confirmation came during the live presentation from Teatro Victoria, where he revealed the full lineup and the novelty of this year’s format—the event will consist of seven individual bouts, all maintaining the traditional 1 vs 1 structure, moving away from the multi-fighter formats of past editions.
Notably, La Velada del Año 5 will also showcase the first women’s fight of this series, featuring Roro facing Abby. There is considerable buzz around this matchup, especially since Roro is noted for her impressive physical capabilities, albeit facing Abby, who stands considerably taller by 23 cm. To level the playing field, gloves of different sizes will be used as Roro dons 12-ounce gloves compared to Abby’s 14-ounce.
Also on the card is the exciting clash between fitness enthusiasts Andoni and Carlos Belcast. Both known for their strong physiques, Andoni stands at 1.87m and Carlos at nearly 1.78m, and they’ve pushed each other to their limits with reported lifts of 200 kg and 415 lbs, respectively, which adds to the anticipation of what promises to be one of the night’s most competitive fights.
Ibai has stated, "This Velada will be unique. No non-Spanish-speaking participants will be involved, focusing entirely on our community," emphasizing the inclusivity and cultural ties of the event. The event’s success over the years—seriously positioning it on platforms like Twitch—highlights its appeal not just to boxing fans but to the wider social media community as well.
On this significant day, fans can expect live updates and the complete fighting card to be detailed during the announcement, which is why engagement remains high as participants build their narratives leading up to the fights.
The event has also drawn international attention, particularly for showcasing Mexican boxing talent alongside popular Spanish streamers, continuing the cultural exchange through sport and entertainment. Artists and viewers alike eagerly await the performances, as live music is expected to complement the boxing matches, enhancing the overall experience as it has done in previous editions.
Tickets for the event are anticipated to be released soon, and fans are urged to stay alert for official updates. The community surrounding La Velada del Año is buzzing, filled with excitement and high expectations. Ibai has previously stated, "We are setting out to make this Velada unforgettable, and with the caliber of fighters involved, it’s sure to be one for the history books!"
With the unique mix of humor, rivalry, and sportsmanship, La Velada del Año 5 is set to attract viewers from all corners of the globe, making it not only one of Spain’s premier sporting events but also a dynamic spectacle of the online entertainment world.
Fans are already abuzz: Will Pereira triumph against Rivaldios? How will Abby fare against the formidable Roro? And what about the fitness titans Andoni and Carlos—who will dominate? These questions resonate deeply within the audience's minds, heightening the anticipation as the event date draws near.
