Hakuho fell into a two-way tie for the lead Tuesday following his first defeat of the Spring Grand Sumo Tournament, while fears about the possible cancellation of the meet subsided after a fever-stricken wrestler tested negative for the coronavirus.

The yokozuna was put to the test by No. 5 maegashira Onosho (6-4) in the penultimate bout of Day 10 at the empty Edion Arena Osaka.

Hakuho failed to get ahold of the frenetic rank-and-filer, who circled around and plowed Hakuho straight off the dohyo before the yokozuna could mount a defense.
