The Holyfield–Tyson rematch at the MGM Grand became an international story when Tyson bit Holyfield. Sports Illustrated’s 2016 Vault podcast revisits the fight with Holyfield and presents a reading of Richard Hoffer’s July 7, 1997 cover story, “Feeding Frenzy.”
This source offers two distinct perspectives: reporting produced close to the event and a participant looking back almost two decades later. They should not be collapsed into one eyewitness account. For ArenaLV’s archive, the podcast supplies a route into the original magazine coverage as well as the later discussion of a night that overwhelmed the normal language of a boxing result.
