Also referred to as ‘gimmick fights’ by some, famous personalities fighting each other – or even professional fighters, is now something quite common. For example, the fizzled-out fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg nearly broke the internet. Now, it seems there is another fight call out, and this time, it’s for a famous YouTuber.

Former MMA pro and TikTok sensation, Keith Lee recently sent YouTube legend MrBeast an open invitation to a friendly boxing match. The YouTuber was seen in a picture with another YouTube star and WWE wrestler, Logan Paul and this led to Lee calling him out and asking for a boxing bout. However, the history between the two runs deeper than this.

YouTube star and WWE prodigy Logan Paul is currently scheduled to fight Dillon Danis, a friend of UFC fighter Conor McGregor. However, that hasn’t stopped him from training and helping out fellow YouTube star, MrBeast. A photo has been going viral on social media where MrBeast is seen standing next to Logan Paul and both of them are wearing boxing gloves. Naturally, the fans assumed that MrBeast was sparring with Paul.

Keith Lee, who is the brother of Kevin Lee, a former UFC fighter, saw this as an opportunity. The TikTok star sent an open invitation to MrBeast saying that he was willing to dance with him – in a friendly boxing match.

MrBeast is a man on a mission. The YouTuber is really popular for making videos that are uplifting and motivating, where he is seen helping out the less fortunate, with money and other resources as well. He has a massive YouTube following as well. Naturally, a ‘friendly fight’ with him would definitely work wonders for the TikTok star. MrBeast is yet to respond. However, considering that the two have a history, there is a possibility that this might happen.

It seems that MrBeast and Keith Lee have interacted before – on Twitter. It all started when MrBeast pitched the idea of tasting his chocolate to Keith Lee. The two had a playful banter going on. Lee finally agreed but not before he put forward a few of his conditions as well. His first condition was for the popular YouTuber to come out to Las Vegas with him and help out a struggling, family-owned restaurant. His second condition involved his wife and his sister.

Apparently, both Lee’s wife and sister were massive fans of the YouTuber and he asked MrBeast if they could be a part of one of his future YouTube videos. His last condition was pretty straightforward as well – he wanted MrBeast to share the video of his review of MrBeast’s chocolates in his circle.

It seems the two did get together because, on 1 February, Lee uploaded a TikTok with the YouTube legend. The fans were happy to see two of their favorite social media personalities getting together and trying to make the world a better place. But now, it seems the two have decided to meet again. However, this time, they’re not going to be reviewing chocolates or helping downtrodden restaurants become self-sufficient.
