Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, challenged the T-Series CEO to a boxing match. This comes as his YouTube channel with the most subscribers, T-Series, and his MrBeast are inching closer to the difference in subscribers. The YouTuber shared a photo on X (formerly Twitter) comparing his subscriber count to T-Series and wrote, “I challenge the CEO of T-Series to a boxing match.” Notably, there is no mention of the CEO, according to his T-Series website. The company's Chairman and Managing Director is Mr. Bhushan Kumar.
Mr. Donaldson's popularity skyrocketed thanks to his gorgeous and glamorous videos. His channel's subscriber base is rapidly catching up to his series, indicating that an epic clash between the stalwarts of the digital space is imminent.

With 265 million subscribers, T-Series has cemented its dominance and become a household name on YouTube. Meanwhile, he has 259 million subscribers on MrBeast's video sharing platform.
Since being shared, his post has garnered more than 12.3 million views and 200,000 likes on the microblogging platform.
“Wow, 90% of the world subscribes to you,” the user said.
Another added: “Should be livestreamed on YouTube.”
“That's not happening, brother. Instead, challenge him to invest as much effort into his content as you invest. It's much better for the Indian music scene. It would be good for you,” said one person.
“History repeats itself again,” said one user.
A fifth said: “I wish this actually happened.”
“What I'm saying is, don't make the same mistake as PewDiePie,” one person wrote.
One user added: “Does anyone remember the last time this biggest YouTuber went up against T-Series in a silly competition? The results weren't great.”
Meanwhile, music pioneer Gulshan Kumar, whose father owned a fruit juice shop, founded T-Series. The company has devised strategies to outperform its competitors and stay ahead of the curve, from making cassette copies of popular songs to entering the religious music market. After his death in 1997, the company is headed by his son Bhushan and is headquartered in Mumbai.
T-Series has grown to over $101 million as Bhushan Kumar decided to embrace the digital age. In the early 2000s, he distributed his music online and then used his infatuation with India's Bollywood to venture into film production.
Donaldson, on the other hand, is known for his philanthropic efforts and sensational YouTube videos that center on viral spectacles, highly glamorous challenges, stunts, and hefty giveaways. He is one of the most successful creators in YouTube history. YouTube stars earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year from their captivating contest videos.
