Joey Chestnut, the reigning champion of Nathan\u2019s Hot Dog Eating Contest, has been banned from this year\u2019s July 4 showdown.<\/p>\n

The decision, confirmed by Major League Eating (MLE), comes after Chestnut opted to represent a rival hot dog brand that focuses on vegan products.<\/p>\n

Joey is currently ranked No. 1 in the world by\u00a0Major League Eating<\/a>. Chestnut <\/span>won his first Nathan\u2019s Hot Dog Eating Contest in 2007<\/a>,\u00a0defeating Taer \u201cTsunami\u201d Kobayashi.<\/span><\/p>\n

A spokesperson for MLE disclosed to ESPN<\/a> that Chestnut had opted to \u201crepresent another hot dog brand,\u201d thereby disqualifying him from the annual competition held at Coney Island, New York City.<\/p>\n

Chestnut, who is widely regarded as competitive eating\u2019s biggest star and has won the event eight consecutive years, is said to have prioritized his new partnership over his long-standing relationship with MLE and Nathan\u2019s Famous Hot Dogs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are devastated to learn that Joey Chestnut has chosen to represent a rival brand that sells plant-based hot dogs rather than competing in the 2024 Nathan\u2019s Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest,\u201d MLE said in an official statement.<\/p>\n

The organization further explained that it had made significant efforts to accommodate Chestnut and his management team in recent months. These accommodations included agreeing on an appearance fee and allowing him to compete in an unbranded hot dog eating contest on Labor Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor nearly two decades we have worked under the same basic hot dog exclusivity provisions. However, it seems that Joey and his managers have prioritized a new partnership with a different hot dog brand over our long-time relationship,\u201d the statement continued.<\/p>\n

According to ESPN, Chestnut holds an impressive record at the Nathan\u2019s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, owning the top 10 performances including consuming a staggering 76 hot dogs and buns in 2021 alone. He managed to down 62 franks and buns at last year\u2019s event.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoey Chestnut is an American hero,\u201d MLE\u2019s statement concluded. \u201cWe would love nothing more than to have him at the Nathan\u2019s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest, which he has dominated for years. We hope that he returns when he is not representing a rival brand.\u201d<\/p>\n
