Onosato’s bid for a first ever zenshō-yūshō (perfect championship) came to an end at the hands of Yoshinofuji on day 10 of the ongoing Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament.

It was a stunning upset given the manner in which the yokozuna had steamrolled the competition over the meet’s first nine days.

Prior to the defeat Onosato had looked well on the way to a career-first 15-0 finish.
