YouTube star Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, has issued a bold challenge to Bhushan Kumar, the Chairman and Managing Director of T-Series, the leading Indian record label. On May 17, MrBeast took to X to propose a boxing match, igniting a frenzy online.
In his viral post, MrBeast included a screenshot showing the subscriber counts of both channels. MrBeast boasts nearly 260 million subscribers, while T-Series remains the most subscribed channel on YouTube with 266 million.
“I challenge the CEO of T-Series to a boxing match,” MrBeast declared on X. Though T-Series doesn’t officially list a CEO, Bhushan Kumar is widely recognized as the top executive of the company.
The challenge quickly went viral, amassing over 12 million views and sparking thousands of comments from excited fans.
“Should be streamed live on YouTube,” one user suggested. Another predicted, “You will be the first YouTuber to hit 1 billion.”
Others expressed skepticism and humor. “If only this would actually happen,” one remarked. Another added, “You can’t win. T-Series has 1.4 billion people behind them.”
One fan even initiated a poll to predict the winner of the proposed match.
Reflecting on past rivalries, a user commented, “Anybody else remember the last time the biggest YouTuber went up against T-Series in a playful competition? It didn’t end well,” referencing the 2019 feud between PewDiePie and T-Series.
Another user advised, “I would just like to say, don’t make the same mistake as PewDiePie did.”
As the challenge continues to generate buzz, fans await a response from Bhushan Kumar and the possibility of a unique showdown between two of YouTube’s biggest names.
