July 2024 - Day 15.8 - Abi v Tobizaru
🕑 Added 2024-07-28 10:53:00 +0000 UTCJust before the match between Sekiwake Abi (8-6) and M4 Tobizaru (8-6) gets started, the final 6 combatants perform the Kore Yori Sanyaku ceremony, signifying the start of the final 3 matches on the final day of the basho.
Enjoy!

There is "international sumo", which essentially extracts the sport out from almost all of the tradition and gives it kind of a boxing make-over. There is no gyoji, for example, and instead they have a referee who dresses similar to an MMA or boxing ref. It has weight-classes as well so lighter fighters can take part. It is still very small and niche though but it at least gives a model for how perhaps one day sumo could respectfully be added to the Olympics or other international competition.
