    Last year’s game, an 8-7 thriller at Charlton’s The Valley – has been streamed 34million times so far.
    And Saturday’s event is poised to be even bigger.
    MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, will be in top shape for the soccer event after going from chubby to lean and muscular within the past year.
    Earlier this summer, the 25-year-old internet personality showed off his impressive weight loss, even earning the praise of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    The content creator and philanthropist revealed that he has been walking 12,500 steps a day to shed the pounds.
    “Me and Eric, another YouTuber, we signed a contract where we’d work out every day, and if we didn’t, we’d get a tattoo of each other,” MrBeast said during an interview with The Colin and Samir Show.
    “You’re OK to have a day off if it’s like an actual part of your program, so I occasionally have rest days.
    “But for the most part, the last 310 days, we’ve worked out every single day, and we’ve held each other accountable, and it’s been awesome.”

    MrBeast then followed up his before-and-after images with one photo of him flexing his muscles.
    “I was just so laser-focused on the [YouTube] channel, and I just realized one day…I have not been working out or taking care of myself or anything,” he added.
    “Up to this point, I’ve just been losing fat. It’s harder to put on muscle when you’re losing fat. But it’s been fun.”
    MrBeast also offered words of encouragement to his followers should they also want to lose weight.
    “All you have to do is work out for three months really consistently, and then it’ll just become part of your lifestyle,” he said. 
    “I couldn’t fathom a year ago, ‘How am I ever going to do this religiously?’ because we just have so much stuff going on, but now it’s just truly a habit.”
    Many fans have congratulated MrBeast on his fitness journey.
    “I think seeing the weight you have lost is amazing. Congratulations!” one Twitter user wrote.

    The unbeaten younger brother of WBC heavyweight champ Tyson Fury comes into the fight having beaten KSI’s arch rival Jake Paul via split-decision in Saudi Arabia back in February.
    And having already chalked one off his list, the 24-year-old ex-Love Islander wants to put the crossover boxing scene to bed by securing wins over the pair.
    However, during an appearance with his father, John Fury, on GMB today, he shocked host Garraway when dishing out a threat to KSI.
    Fury, whose fiancee Molly-Mae Hague gave birth to baby girl Bambi in January, began by claiming: “This is an easy win for me, I’m training like I’m training for an undisputed world title fight.
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    “When I jump in the ring with KSI he will quickly realise that fighting a YouTuber is completely different to fighting a professional boxer.”
    With his dad nodding in approval next to him, he then warned: “This is a message for KSI. Cut all of that fancy talk out, the laughs and all the stupid bandanas, whatever you want to do… come October 14 his life will be ruined.

    “All his singing, podcasting, his business, it will all be finished as mark my words, he’ll be leaving Manchester Arena in an ambulance. I can quite clearly guarantee it.”
    “Crikey,” replied Garraway before adding: “I’m actually getting a little bit disturbed by all of this.”

    Dad John already helped to raise the heat between the two fighters as their latest press conference to promote the fight descended into chaos when he began flipping tables on stage this week.
    And the former bare-knuckle boxer predicted more carnage come fight night as he claimed his son will keep punching his opponent until he “URINATES” himself and warned it will be a “street-fight with gloves on” at the event.
    After claiming his “good-looking son” can beat anybody out there, Fury then told Garraway and GMB viewers today: “Don’t be deceived by looks. This kid can fight, he’s as tough as boots.”
    And he then finished off by promising: “The fans are going to love it.”
    KSI also appeared on the ITV show last month and made a better impression on Garraway.
    The 30-year-old sat down in the studio to discuss his global fame, appeal to young people and how he keeps his private life under wraps.
    But he then stood up to give Garraway a punching demonstration – with the presenter later throwing some punches at co-host Richard Madeley.

    Anthony Joshua opens up on Conor McGregor’s bizarre ‘beef’ with KSI after throwing support to YouTube star

    ANTHONY JOSHUA has opened up on being the middle man in Conor McGregor’s bizarre “beef” with KSI. McGregor called out YouTube star KSI to a bare-knuckle scrap after AJ knocked out Robert Helenius in August.

    Joshua took a lap around the ring after his victory and bumped into both McGregor and KSI.
    And McGregor was captured hurling abuse at KSI until AJ intervened in support of his “guy.”
    Joshua, 33, has now revealed to Misfits Boxing: “I went around the ring and I bumped into Conor McGregor on my victory lap.
    “He’s a personality, he’s a very big character, so I stopped off, we spoke, I had a sip of stout and I was on my way, so respect to him.”

    AJ continued: “I just didn’t understand what this beef was about and obviously I know KSI, so I wasn’t going to be like, ‘Yeah, f*** KSI’.
    “I know KSI so I’m not going to start throwing slurs at him, that’s my guy, so what’s going on.”
    McGregor, 35, surprisingly called out KSI, 30, while mocking his fighting ability in the ring immediately after Joshua’s KO victory.
    He said: “I know your man KSI is in the crowd and he couldn’t box eggs if he worked in an egg boxing factory.

    “So if he wants to get in here I’ll give him a final yoke, bare-knuckle if you want!”
    KSI returns to the ring on October 14 in Manchester against Tommy Fury, 24, but he has eyes on McGregor afterwards.
    He said on talkSPORT: “Look, after Tommy Fury I might entertain a fight with Conor McGregor. With me, you never know. You never know.”
