Mike Tyson’s ear joke to Evander Holyfield, Angel Reese’s dog in a Santa hat: The best athlete Christmas wishes
LeBron James, Angel Reese and Mike Tyson were among the star athletes who shared festive posts on social media on Christmas Day.
The sports world is awash with everything from holiday songs to dinner spreads and family photos of stars from various disciplines.
In a Christmas promo for his ear-shaped, cannabis-infused chews, Tyson starred in a commercial with Evander Holyfield, whom he infamously bit during their 1997 fight.
In the video, Iron Mike gifts his former rival a bag of the product and says, “I have your ear [in] flavor of cherry pie punch.” The two then argued about the taste of Holyfield’s ear before Tyson ultimately won the exchange.
‘Happy Holidays!’ he wrote in the caption.
