The world-famous competitive jedek officially solved his dispute with Nathan known and confirmed that he would once again take the stage on the fourth July school competition.

The chestnut was banned from the competition in 2024. After inserting a contract with impossible food, promoting hot dogs based on plants, something Nathan as a direct threat to their iconic comprehensive product.

The recommendation contract led to a large backlog, and Nathana pulls a plug on a long lasting relationship only a few weeks before the annual event.

But now Joey Chestnut returned, and with buns shining.

"I'm thrilled to be back to Nathan's familiar Fourth July Handset Dog Cutter," Chestnut said. "This event means the world for me. It is a gentle tradition, a celebration of American culture and a huge part of my life."

While chestnut has recognized his partnerships with companies in a plant-intended for eating, it is clear to me clearly there was no confusion in it where his loyalty lies. "To be clear: Nathan is the only company with Hot Dog I've ever worked with," he said. "I respect that there were differences in the interpretation, but I am grateful for being able to find a shared soil."

That "common ground" comes in the form of a completely new, three-year-old approval with Nathan and the International Federation of Competitive Nutrition (IFOCE), organized by Annual 4. Jul.

"I'm excited to be back on the stage of Coney Island, I do what I live to do and I celebrate the fourth July with hot dogs in your hands! Stay hungry!" The chestnut added.

Refused to reveal the financial details of the contract, but confirmed with Now today sports that they still cooperate with impossible food.

George Shea, the founder of IFOCE and the announcer for Nathan's competition, chestnut was confirmed for the competition.

"We are very excited to have Joey back and believe that this will be the best competition ever," "Shea said sports today.

For records, while the chestnut was out of competition last year, Patrick Bertoletti took a male title eating 58 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes, a drop of 18 short records 76.

"If they returned with the similar concepts we talked about last year, I would definitely consider it," he said at the time. "I would work with them to make sure there were no conflicts with other sponsors ... but honestly, I don't think they want to put that route. And yes, it's crazy." I love that competition. "

The drama started last year when It was announced before the main league dish, "We are helped to learn that Joey Chestenut chose to represent a rival brand that sells hot dogs based on plants, not to compete in the famous four-storey Nathan in Nathu Fourth July."

Joey then clapped, asking the record straight. "I have no contract with Mle or Nathans and want to change rules from the past years because it refers to other partners I can do with," Chestnut said at the time. "This is an obvious basis on which I'm banned, not affecting the 4th July competition."
