Amouranth is all set to break some bones at the Ibai Llanos’ boxing event, La Velada Del Ano 3.

In 2021, Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos hosted the first-ever celebrity boxing event on Twitch. It was one of the first events of its kind. Nevertheless, the event was an instant success, bashing multiple records on the platform. Notably, the boxing event broke the record for the ‘most viewed sporting event’ as well as the most viewed broadcast, beating Ninja and Drake’s Fortnite stream.

Apparently, the competition allured 3.3 million fans, who were glued to their screens from start to end. It was no surprise that the gaming community engaged in the program as their favorite stars were in participation.

Now, two years later from the inaugural event, the stakes seem to be much higher, with fresh entries confirming their participation. The names feature top streamers from different parts of the world, competing for the prize. But what makes the event very engaging is the upcoming match between ASMR queen Amouranth and Mayichi.

On February 18, Amo dropped a tweet, saying, “Hint: Italian stallion.” However, it was difficult to decode the message despite fans trying their best. But now, after Ibai’s tweet, the community got some clarity. “Fifth match of the evening of the year III,” the tweet read. Followed by that, Amouranth also uploaded a post showing off her outfit along with a caption. She said, “New Italian stallion just dropped.” 

Who is Mayichi? – Amouranth’s rival for the July 1 duel 

For those uninitiated, Mayichi is a popular content creator on Twitch. With 1.7 million followers under her name, fans know her for her exceptional gaming skills for games like League of Legends, Minecraft, and Valorant alongside IRL streams.
