Spanish Twitch streamer Ibai has broken his own viewership record during his La Velada Del Año 4 boxing event, peaking at over 3.7 million viewers before the main event even started.
Ibai is one of the biggest creators on the platform and currently holds the top three spots for most watched Twitch streams in history, beating the next biggest streamer by over a million concurrent viewers.
The fourth edition of Ibai’s La Velada Del Año has reached a current viewership peak of 3.7 million and continues to climb. La Velada Del Año translates to The Night of the Year, and it’s certainly living up to that name.
This surpasses his previous record from 2023 when he hosted La Velada Del Año 3, which topped out at just under 3.5 million viewers.
The official Twitch X account congratulated Ibai on breaking the record for the most-watched stream and praised the community he had built.
