MrBeast wants Mike Tyson to take on Chess Grandmaster

In the video titled ‘Most Extreme Sports!’, Jimmy introduces his audience to the intriguing world of chess-boxing. Not only is it one of the more curious extreme sports, but Jimmy claims it’s “arguably my favorite.”

He explains how the game works for the viewership before flinging the imaginary match-up on them. According to him, the sport sees two participants engage in both chess and boxing in different segments. They start off with a round of chess in the middle of the boxing ring. After making some moves, the bell would ring, signaling the start of the boxing phase.

The participants then quickly don their boxing gear as the team removes the chess table, and it turns into a full-fledged boxing bout.
