A day after claiming his 43rd career title with a win at the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament, yokozuna Hakuho said he intends to fight on in pursuit of his 50th championship.
While the 34-year-old has already said he plans to continue wrestling until next summer's Tokyo Olympics, he revealed an even bigger ambition at a news conference in Fukuoka on Monday.
"I'm not sure (when I can accomplish it), it may be two years or three years from now," said Hakuho, who holds the all-time record for the most titles in sumo's top makuuchi division.
