The historic YouTuber WillyRex made a surprise appearance at La Velada del Año VI and confirmed a new edition in 2027. Additionally, he directly challenged AuronPlay, igniting euphoria among the attendees.

La Velada del Año VI, the boxing event between content creators organized by Ibai Llanos, experienced one of its most electric moments when WillyRex unexpectedly appeared on stage. Just a few seconds were enough for the historic Spanish YouTuber to receive one of the biggest ovations of the night.

But he didn’t just come to greet. WillyRex took advantage of his brief intervention to deliver a message that set social media ablaze: he confirmed that La Velada del Año will have a seventh edition in 2027 and then publicly challenged AuronPlay, one of the most followed streamers in the Spanish-speaking world.

"AuronPlay, we’ll see you at La Velada del Año VII."

The direct challenge provoked immediate cheers and applause among the thousands of attendees at the venue, as well as a wave of speculation on platforms like Twitter and Twitch. The content creator community has been imagining a fight between the two for years, and now the possibility seems more real than ever.

WillyRex, who was once one of the most important YouTubers in Spain, has maintained a lower profile in recent years. His reappearance at an event of this magnitude not only surprised fans but also served as an official announcement that Ibai Llanos’ flagship event will continue for at least another year.

Ibai Llanos, the organizer of La Velada, has not made any additional statements regarding the challenge or the details of the upcoming edition. However, the mere announcement that there will be a La Velada del Año VII has been enough for fans to start speculating about possible matches and venues.

For now, attention is focused on AuronPlay's response. The streamer, known for his direct personality and large community, has yet to publicly comment on WillyRex's challenge. If he accepts, it would be one of the most high-profile matches in the event's history.

La Velada del Año VI, held recently, left memorable moments both inside and outside the ring. WillyRex’s interruption and announcement have added an extra chapter of excitement that will keep the community on edge until the details of the 2027 edition are confirmed.

For fans of the phenomenon, the news guarantees continuity for one of the biggest shows in Spanish digital entertainment. Now we just have to wait and see if AuronPlay picks up the gauntlet and if both will end up in the ring in two years.
