The Professional Sumo Wrestling Basho (Kyushu Basho) is currently underway at the Kokukigan Sumo Stadium and Museum. Unfortunately, Mongolian Professional Sumo Wrestler Hakuho M.Davaajargal, who holds the 69thYokozuna (highest rank in sumo) has, since yesterday, the second day of the Kyushu Basho, been unable to compete.
His coach, Mr. Miyagino Oyakata said, “Hakuho wanted to wrestle, even though he injured his left leg, a week ago before the start of Kyushu Basho. This means that, Mongolian Sumo wrestlers Hakuho–M.Davaajargal and Harumafuji–D.Byambadorj are missing this Basho; as a result, this Basho, Yokozuna Kakuryu -M.Anand is now in the lead.
