The Fourth of July is fast approaching, and you know what that means: It’s time for fireworks, barbecue and tuning in to watch Joey “Jaws” Chestnut scarf down upwards of 70 hot dogs (and buns!) in 10 minutes. Chestnut is returning to compete at the 2025 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. The long-reigning champ was banned in 2024 after signing an endorsement deal with Nathan’s competitor Impossible Foods. But this Friday, Chestnut returns to compete at Coney Island.

Chestnut will aim to beat his world record of 76 dogs and buns. He’ll face 2024 men’s champion and No. 2-ranked eater Patrick Bertoletti, No. 3 Geoffrey Esper, No. 4 James Webb and No. 6 Nick Wehry. On the women’s side, Miko Sudo remains the reigning champ, with a personal best of 51 hot dogs and buns set last year. Will she set a new record this year? Here’s what to know about how to watch Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest live on July 4.

Why was Joey Chestnut banned from the 2024 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest?

Joey Chestnut was banned in 2024 after he signed an endorsement deal with Impossible Foods. Nathan’s viewed it as a conflict of interest with its all-beef product and banned him from competing.

Chestnut has since agreed to exclusively endorse Nathan’s hot dogs as part of a three-year contract with Nathan’s and the International Federation of Competitive Eating.

Gning zářil proti „svým“ Teplicím, góly neslavil. Jsem za ně ale šťastný, culil se

Poprvé se senegalský útočník prosadil už v 5. minutě, kdy hlavou za Trmala uklidil centr Ebrimy Singhateha z levé strany. V 18. minutě Gning skóroval podruhé po krásné akci, která začala autovým vhazováním Labíka, Gning míč přepustil Samkovi, který mu ho vrátil a karvinský útočník obstřelil Trmala. „Skvělý zápas od něj, za mě muž zápasu,“ ocenil trenér Karviné Martin Hyský.S nasazením Gninga do utkání proti nedávným spoluhráčům vůbec neváhal. „Není vždy snadné hrát proti týmu, odkud přijdete, ale nebylo to žádné téma. Ani před týmem, ani s ním jsem o tom nemluvil. Abdallah je hodně pokorný a skromný, přesně ví, co je potřeba a necítil jsem potřebu ho zatěžovat tím, že bychom se bavili o tom, proti komu nastupuje,“ říkal Hyský. „Věděl jsem, že zvýšenou motivaci on, i Albert Labík mít budou, ale více jsme o tom nemluvili.

Slávisté vstoupili do utkání aktivně, ale Vasil Kušej ani David Douděra své šance nevyužili. Radost hostí přišla až ve 14. minutě. Na roh Michala Sadílka se nejvýše vyšplhal útočník Mojmír Chytil a hlavou překonal brankáře Jiřího Flodera.Pražané byli téměř celou první půli aktivnější, v další slibné příležitosti selhal David Moses. Trenér Jindřich Trpišovský opět nastoupil bez klasického levého wingbeka, na pozici nejčastěji alternoval z pozice stopera kapitán Jan Bořil. Naopak nasadil tři střední záložníky, kromě Sadílka a Mosese ještě Oscara.Hodně nepřehledný moment nastal ve 49. minutě. Domácí Filip Prebsl, který je v Boleslavi na hostování právě ze Slavie, se hnal za míčem a v pokutovém území ho srazil gólman Jindřich Staněk.
