Twitch has set a new record for the most-viewed stream in its history, thanks to a Spanish boxing event that attracted over 10 million viewers. Known for its diverse content ranging from video games to live chats and sporting events, Twitch has become a major player in the streaming landscape. Notably, celebrities, including professional athletes and musicians like T-Pain, have also made their presence felt on the platform. This latest milestone has been achieved by a well-known figure in the Twitch community.
Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos has consistently ranked among the top streamers throughout his career. With over 11 million subscribers on his YouTube channel and a staggering 3 billion total views, Ibai has made a name for himself not just on Twitch but in the streaming world as a whole. His latest event has further cemented his status at the top of the platform. Ibai’s recent event, “La Velada del Año,” broke Twitch’s record for most simultaneous viewers.
The boxing showdown featured various popular streamers engaging in bouts and amassed an impressive 10.8 million viewers during the event. This figure surpasses the record Ibai himself set last year, which had attracted 6.7 million viewers for “La Velada del Año 4.” Previous boxing events hosted by Ibai also claimed spots in Twitch’s all-time top rankings, with only fellow Spanish streamer TheGrefg trailing behind. The rise of Spanish streamers has been a remarkable trend on Twitch, with Ibai leading the charge.
His annual events continue to draw millions of viewers and set new records. The platform, too, has experienced growth from smaller communities, including the surge of non-English-speaking creators, reflecting a broader shift in audience preferences. Ibai’s latest achievement only adds to his legacy as one of Twitch’s most successful creators.
