Returning ozeki Terunofuji comfortably earned another win to stay unbeaten after eight days at the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament on Sunday, chased by ozeki Takakeisho who remained a win behind at the midway point.
With his superior physique, Terunofuji was unperturbed by komusubi Daieisho's (3-5) trademark charge and comfortably pushed out this year's New Year Basho champion out to his fifth loss, while he remained unbeaten and secured a winning record for the 15-day meet at Ryogoku Kokugikan.
The 29-year-old Mongolian is fighting as an ozeki for the first time since September 2017, with knee injuries forcing him down to the sport's second-lowest division in March 2019.
