Japanese man threatens US hot dog eating record
Updated
With national pride at stake this Fourth of July, American champion Joey Chestnut is set to defend his hot dog speed eating record against a Japanese threat.
Japan's Takeru Kobayashi holds the world record for eating 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes, but is carrying a jaw injury.
At this year's US Independance Day celebrations, contestants have 10 minutes to eat as many hot dogs as they can.
