Terunofuji continued to show he belongs as ozeki by posting his third win in as many days at the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament on Tuesday.
Komusubi Myogiryu tried to blitz Terunofuji from the tachiai, but the ozeki wouldn't budge and Myogiryu was sent reeling back out of the ring to his second defeat of the basho.
Terunofuji has demonstrated class and composure so far in his first meet at sumo's second-highest rank, and is eyeing to become just the ninth ozeki to win a championship in his debut. The Isegahama wrestler will face second-ranked maegashira Takayasu (1-2) on Wednesday.
