Plex, one of Spain’s most influential creators, is preparing to face Fernanfloo in a high-profile boxing match at La Velada del Año VI. The event is drawing attention for its star power, with personal stories adding to its reach across digital culture.

Daniel Alonso Agúndez, known online as Plex and also as YoSoyPlex, is preparing to meet Fernanfloo at La Velada del Año VI, hosted at La Cartuja. The event brings together prominent digital personalities, while attention is also on Plex’s rise from recording videos in Toro, Zamora, to becoming a leading figure in Spain’s online scene. His YouTube audience stood at 14.9 million followers in October 2026, information from El País.

At 23, Plex is already a familiar face at Ibai Llanos’ signature event. His victory over El Mariana in the 2024 edition’s Basic Event cemented his reputation as a formidable competitor, and his return this year is a major draw for fans. The upcoming bout with Fernanfloo, a heavyweight in the Latin American digital world, is widely discussed across social media and streaming platforms. The clash reaches beyond the ring into broader digital culture.

Plex’s journey began in adolescence, when he started uploading gaming content from his hometown of Toro. Over time, he shifted his focus to travel and adventure. His global journeys, along with collaborations such as his friendship with Frank Cuesta, have helped him build a distinctive, approachable persona. Spontaneity and a sense of discovery shape his content, which has resonated with millions and made him a reference point for younger audiences in Spain and beyond.

His personal life has also contributed to Plex’s growing profile. His relationship with singer Aitana was publicly confirmed in July 2025, after weeks of speculation, according to El País. On the Argentine streaming show Nadie Dice Nada, Aitana said their first in-person meeting took place in Japan and described how Plex cared for her when she was ill during the trip, Infobae reported. She later summed up the relationship this way: “It’s my family.”

Aitana has also said she first contacted Plex around the premiere of her Netflix documentary Metamorfosis. La Vanguardia reported that she already followed him online, found him attractive and wrote to him after being asked to invite influencers to the event. Their relationship has since been visible in entertainment and creator culture, including Aitana’s support at the presentation of La Velada del Año VI and her appearances in some of Plex’s YouTube videos.

At 1.97 meters tall, Plex’s physical presence is as impressive as his digital influence. His passion for travel and adventure continues to shape his content, taking him to dozens of countries and helping him connect with diverse audiences. In recent years, he has expanded his reach beyond YouTube by appearing on television and collaborating on various projects, further establishing his profile as a leading digital personality in Spain.

La Velada del Año VI matters beyond its individual matchups. The event has become a cultural phenomenon, using sport as a vehicle for entertainment and digital storytelling. Previous editions have featured high-profile clashes, including the Natalia MX and Clerss bout, which drew intense interest across Spanish and Mexican audiences (see coverage of the Natalia MX vs Clerss fight). The format continues to evolve alongside changes in online influence and fan engagement.

La Velada del Año has grown into one of Spain’s most-watched streaming events, regularly breaking viewership records and attracting sponsorship from major brands. Its mix of boxing and live music, with high-profile creators involved, has helped redefine how digital events are produced and consumed in the country. Given Plex’s athleticism and personal storytelling, his participation this year is expected to further raise the event’s profile. As the date approaches, anticipation remains high for the sporting spectacle and its wider cultural impact.
