Ozeki Asashoryu scalped his 10th victim Wednesday to remain in a two-way tie for the lead with Dejima at the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament.
No. 3 maegashira Dejima charges into No. 2 maegashira Kyokutenho for a win on the 11th day of the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament.
The pugnacious Mongolian, who with back-to-back Emperor's Cup titles of 13 wins or more will get the nod for yokozuna, was uncharacteristically cool in the final bout as he cooked Iwakiyama at Tokyo's Ryogoku Kokugikan.
