However, this retired yokozuna stayed on the sidelines and did not don a mawashi. |
With names like ACT Fatal, Yokozuna, Gladiator and Caliber 2, the competition as expected saw a nail-biting finish. |
The Samoan-born yokozuna, the winner of 12 titles, has struggled unsuccessfully for two years with a wrist injury. |
Earlier on Tuesday, Borisov presented the Cup of the Government of the Republic of Bulgaria to the winner in the January sumo tournament in Japan, yokozuna Hakuho. |
The two yokozuna then strolled down their respective hanamichi to battle for the title. |
He has proven himself to be a remarkable yokozuna, and his last yusho was a classic example of sheer will and determination. |
