Ozeki 's clash to put an end to Kyushu basho (and the 2023 Sumo season) as Kirishima faces Takakeisho
Sekiwake Big Baby Kotonowaka faces Starlet Atamifuji on Day 15:
Match of the day:
Spirited and consequential Day 15 battle between fan favorite Ura (and his pink magic!) and the Mongolian giant Hokuseiho
Here is Sumo Primetime's recap of Day 15:
In anticlimactic fashion, Kirishima (13-2) captured his 2nd Yusho to start a tsuna run
Kotonowaka (11-4) ended suspense early, slapping down nervous Atamifuji to eliminate him from contention
In the finale, Takakeisho (9-6), who seemed to favor his neck, struggled to execute his tachiai becoming easy prey for a slap down by Kirishima
Ura (8-7) clinched his first Komisubi promotion with a three step combo move victory over Hokuseiho (7-8)
Match of the Day:
Pink Magic Ura and "The Clap" Gonoyama brought the crowd into rapture on Day 14!
It's always a classic when Ozeki Hoshoryu and little Greeny Midorifuji meet on the dohyo:
Ozeki Kirishima faces young sensation Atamifuji on day 14 of Kyushu Basho in meeting of huge consequence.
Ozeki Kirishima (12-2) edged closer to his second yusho and the start of a tsuna run, he never looked phased as he bested a clearly nervous Atamifuji (11-3)in a close belt battle to take sole lead heading into the final day.
Kotonowaka (10-4) held nerve slapping down Shonanoumi (7-7).
Hoshoryu (9-5) threw down Midorifuji (9-5) beautifully.
After 10 straight losses head to head (!), Daiesho (9-5) got the jump on BFF Takakeisho (9-5).
