The Guardian interviews Takeru Kobayashi
The Guardian has a long interview with Takeru Kobayashi about facing off against Joey Chestnut in a hot dog eating contest on Netflix on September 2. He believes the event will be his final competition.
Will September’s bout with Chestnut be Kobayashi’s last? He has to believe it will be. “Unless I think each match is my last one, I will not be able to perform at my peak level.” But he is enjoying the thrill of competing again. “When you do something for a really long time, you start to lose the magic that you felt initially,” he says. “This has really brought back the feeling of how much fun it is to push yourself.”

There’s almost 0% chance of Kobi starting to eat on any circuit again. He has nothing to gain / prove. It’s all risk to him.
They Netflix event will be his last big contest payday, I’m guessing his largest ever too…

Kobayashi has but one goal. To beat Joey Chestnut in hotdogs. I do not see him doing any other contests.

Chestnut has his own “bank” now and Kobayashi says clearly he wants to be hotdog king again and that is it. That said, the fact that MLE keeps Joey at #1 means they have some hope of luring him back.
