 LeBron James, Angel Reese, and Mike Tyson were among the star athletes who shared festive social media posts on Christmas Day.

The sports world has been flooded with everything from holiday tunes to dinner spreads and family pictures from stars across different disciplines.

In a Christmas promo for his ear-shaped cannabis-infused chews, Tyson starred in a commercial with Evander Holyfield who he infamously bit during their 1997 fight.

In the video, Iron Mike gifts his former rival a bag of the product saying 'I got you your ear [in] cherry pie punch flavor.' The two then argued over the taste of Holyfield's ear before Tyson eventually won the exchange.

'Happy Holidays!' he wrote in the caption.

WNBA star Angel Reese posted a photo of her puppy Tiago King wearing a Santa hat on her Instagram story, writing 'Merry Christmas from TT.'
