Ibai Llanos' Evening of the Year 2 (Velada del Año 2) is just around the corner and the preparations for the event have been a painstaking, always for the benefit of the fans. The move from a private gym last year to the Olympic Pavilion of Badalona this year has opened the doors to the public, who flocked to the relevant purchase of tickets, which were sold out in seconds.

The date has been announced since February 2022, when the five fights to be held in June were announced. However, a last-minute change disqualified Jaime Lorente as a fighter, in favor of David Bustamante's entry. The Spanish singer will fight Mister Jagger over five rounds in the main event of Ibai Llanos' Evening of the Year 2.

The action will begin at 18:00 CET (Spanish peninsular time) on Saturday, June 25. At that time, the Olympic Pavilion of Badalona, a municipality bordering Barcelona, will open its doors to the public.

Between 6 pm and 7 pm, the red carpet of the event will take place, which will receive more than 350 streamers of the Spanish-speaking scene, as specified by Ibai Llanos.

The start of the sports event itself is estimated for 19:00 CET (Spanish peninsular time), although it is likely that this time will be slightly modified due to "live stuff". All the action can be seen live on Ibai Llanos' Twitch channel, in the same way as last year, when the Basque creator surpassed 1.5 million simultaneous viewers.

The boxing matches of Ibai Llanos' Evening of the Year 2

The press conference for the Ibai Llanos Night of the Year 2 took place in February of this year when the 10 boxers of the event showed their faces to the public. The first votes on the favorites were taken, and some fighters were not entirely convinced. Here are the five definitive bouts for June 25:

Spursito vs Carola
Viruzz vs Momo
AriGameplays vs Paracetamor
Luzu vs LOLiTO FDEZ
Mister Jagger vs David Bustamante

Months later, most of the participants have shown progress in their training, which has allowed their counterparts to re-evaluate the Evening of the Year (Velada del Año 2) favorites in the form of predictions. While Spursito is one of the underdogs to win his bout, there is a great dichotomy in the bout pitting Mister Jagger against David Bustamante.
