Tochinoshin - One victory left before winning the Emperor's Cup

Georgian professional sumo wrestler  Levan Gorgadze (Tochinoshin Tsuyoshi ) improved his record after defeating Mongolian Yokozuna Kakuryu on the 13th day of the Grand Sumo Tournament.

Tochinoshin Tsuyoshi gained the 12th victory over Mongolian Ichinojo Ochonogo, who is the heaviest (215 kg) fighter in the higher division.

Yokozuna Kakuryu suffered his third loss, which means that if Levan Gorgadze wins one of the two remaining matches he will be the winner of the emperor’s cup and will fix the historical results.

Tomorrow, on the 14th day of Basho, his opponent will be 9th Maegashira Shohozan.
