The Tottenham full-back and world champion with Spain, Pedro Porro, issued a humorous challenge to his teammate Marc Cucurella during his appearance at La Velada del Año VI. The Extremaduran footballer confessed that he would like to face him in the next edition of the boxing event organised by Ibai Llanos.
The world champion Pedro Porro has been one of the most talked-about names following his appearance at La Velada del Año VI, the boxing event organised by streamer Ibai Llanos. The Tottenham full-back attended the show alongside his national team mate Alejandro Grimaldo, just days after being crowned world champion with Spain.
During his appearance, Porro delivered funny moments that quickly went viral on social media. The Extremaduran footballer, who has established himself as a key player on the right flank of the team managed by Luis de la Fuente, took the opportunity to joke about a possible participation in the next edition of the event.
In an interview conducted between fights, the Tottenham player was asked about his potential involvement in La Velada VII. Although he claimed to be a calm person, his response did not go unnoticed.
“Well, I’m a very calm guy, to be honest. But I would like to fight Cucurella,”he said with laughter, provoking one of the most talked-about moments of the night.
Porro's challenge to Marc Cucurella, his teammate in the world champion Spanish national team, has been received with humour by fans and has once again highlighted the good atmosphere that prevails in the La Roja dressing room. Both footballers played together in the World Cup and were a fundamental part of the team that achieved Spain's second star.
La Velada del Año, organised by Ibai Llanos, has become a mass phenomenon that combines boxing, entertainment, and the participation of celebrities and influencers. In its sixth edition, recently held, the event gathered thousands of live spectators and millions of followers online through streaming platforms.
Porro, 26, has had a dream summer after winning the World Cup with Spain and has now become a trend due to his quip at La Velada. The full-back, who played for Valladolid and Sporting Lisbon before joining Tottenham, has shown an extroverted character that resonates with fans.
On his part, Marc Cucurella, who was also key in the World Cup championship, has yet to publicly respond to his teammate's challenge. The Chelsea defender, known for his competitive nature, could pick up the gauntlet and join the next edition of the event.
The organisation of La Velada VII, scheduled for 2027, has already begun to generate anticipation. With the precedent of the sixth edition, which featured high-level fights and viral moments, the possible participation of two world champions would add extra appeal to the line-up. For now, Porro's proposal is just a joke, but the world of entertainment and sport awaits a response from Cucurella.
The event organised by Ibai Llanos has managed to attract figures from sports, music, and film, becoming an international showcase. The presence of elite footballers like Porro is not new, but his boldness in challenging a national teammate has heightened interest in the next edition.
Meanwhile, fans of both players hope that the challenge materialises. La Velada VII could feature a very special fight between two friends and world champions, a story that blends sport, spectacle, and friendly rivalry.
