Hakuho manhandled upset-minded Myogiryu while fellow yokozuna Harumafuji got back on track after the previous day's defeat, albeit a jittery win over Kitataiki on the third day of the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament on Tuesday.

Hakuho leads a pack of 10 wrestlers in the early lead at 3-0 at the 15-day meet.

He was in no mood for games as he quickly got into position for a firm frontal forceout after fiercely unleashing a thrusting attack before giving his opponent one final shove that sent him down into the ringside seats at Ryogoku Kokugikan.
