Harumafuji knocked the daylights out of Kisenosato while fellow yokozuna Hakuho ran roughshod over sekiwake Goeido as the undefeated pair remained in a two-way tie for the lead at the Spring Grand Sumo Tournament on Wednesday.

Harumafuji and Hakuho lead with 11-0 marks while promotion-chasing Kakuryu improved to 10-1 to remain one behind the two head honchos with four days remaining at the Kansai meet.

It was the sixth sold-out crowd in Osaka, and Harumafuji did not disappoint with a volcanic-style eruption in the penultimate bout at Bodymaker Colosseum.
