The 2025 Nathans Hot Dog Eating Contest will feature the legendary competitive eater Joey Chestnut back on the Coney Island boardwalk after missing the 2024 competition.As a result, many believe he will reclaim his belt.Chestnuts partnership with Impossible Foods caused an issue last year, and it ended up keeping him out of the competition. This year, though, Chestnut announced that he and the organizers had found common ground on sponsorships.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"Im thrilled to be returning to the Nathans Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest. This event means the world to me. Its a cherished tradition, a celebration of American culture, and a huge part of my life," Chestnut wrote on X."While I have and continue to partner with a variety of companies, including some in the plant-based space, those relationships were never a conflict with my love for hot dogs. To be clear: Nathans is the only hot dog company Ive ever worked with.JAKE PAUL FACES UNUSUAL CALL OUT FROM FORMER BOXING CHAMPION"I respect that there were differences in interpretation, but Im grateful weve been able to find common ground. Im excited to be back on the Coney Island stage, doing what I live to do, and celebrating the Fourth of July with hot dogs in my hands! Stay hungry!"Chestnut is hungry to be a champion again, and sportsbooks dont have anyone remotely close to beating him.Last years winner, Patrick Bertoletti, who ate 58 hot dogs in 10 minutes, has big odds to defeat Chestnut and the rest of the field.If he does win, Chestnut would extend his record for the famous contest to 17 yellow belts.Although he didnt participate in last years competition, Chestnut did go up against another legendary competitive eater, Takeru Kobayashi, in a Netflix special event called "Unfinished Beef." He ate 83 hot dogs, which marked the most eaten in the history of competitive eating without being dunked in water.On the womens side, Miki Sudo, who has won three times in a row now, is expected to get her 11th pink belt in Coney Island for her career. Her biggest competition will be Domenica Dee and Michelle Lesco, the latter of whom snapped Sudos win streak in 2021.For those unaware of Nathans rules, the time limit is just 10 minutes in both the mens and womens contests.The contestant who not only consumes, but also keeps down, the most hot dogs and buns within the 10-minute limit is determined the winner.In the rare event a tie occurs, the contest will go to an untimed "eat-off," where the first contestant to put down a specific number of hot dogs, with the buns, wins.The last time there was an eat-off was 2008, where Chestnut won by eating five hot dogs and buns in 50 seconds.The womens contest will occur first at 10:45 a.m. ET before the men take the stage at noon on July 4.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
