MrBeast was tamed by Iron Mike.
Before Terence Crawford’s victory over Canelo Alvarez on Saturday at the Raiders’ stadium in Las Vegas, the YouTube star took a left hook from Mike Tyson right to the gut — and doubled over in pain.
“I’m gonna take a punch from Mike Tyson,” MrBeast, real name Jimmy Donaldson, says right before Tyson gleefully delivers the blow to Donaldson’s stomach.

Tyson laughed as MrBeast tried to recover from the punch.
MrBeast said he was taking a punch to raise awareness for the event, as Tyson stood next to Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of the Saudi Arabian General Entertainment Authority.
The 27-year-old MrBeast, known for producing videos featuring bizarre challenges with big cash rewards, has the most subscribers on YouTube at 435 million.
He was also a part of the marketing for the NFL’s Chiefs-Chargers game in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in Week 1 that streamed on YouTube.
Tyson, 59, came out of retirement to fight YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in November and lost in a unanimous decision in eight rounds.
He’s now scheduled to face Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition next spring.
Crawford became the undisputed super middleweight champion Saturday night by defeating Alvarez by unanimous decision.
Now a five-division world champion, Crawford, who turns 38 in two weeks, improved his undefeated record to 42-0.
There is speculation Crawford could now retire, though he said after Saturday’s fight that he will talk to his team to discuss his future.
Alvarez, 35, suffered his third career loss and is now 63-3-2.
