The full slate of bouts is here. A few highlights:
- Terutsuyoshi steps up to fight M1 Hokutofuji.
- Kakuryu faces Mitakeumi. The head-to-head is nearly even at 6-5.
- Hakuho is matched with Kotoshogiku. They’ve met a remarkable 62 times, with the Yokozuna holding an even more remarkable 56-6 edge over the former Ozeki.

So looking forward to seeing the speedy, stout and sturdy one challenge the former and future Komusubi.
Into the deeper end of the pool that all aspire to reach.
They sure are making an effort for a race still exist by day 15
Considering the sentiment of a few days back that Hakuho would have to drop out, his chances of winning the yusho are looking better and better. Remarkable!
Pretty hard for Koto to make a kachi-koshi when he is matched up with all top rankers…
With all the Ozeki out, the schedulers don’t have a lot of options…
