Mongolian Hakuho remains unbeaten with 10-0 record

NAGOYA, Japan -- Grand champion Hakuho improved to a perfect 10-0 at the Nagoya Grand Sumo tournament on Tuesday with a bulldozing win over Kotoshogiku.

The Mongolian yokozuna firmly gripped Kotoshogiku’s belt while driving the sekiwake toward the straw ridge, then shoved him out in the day’s final bout at Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium.

Seeking his seventh Emperor’s Cup, Hakuho also marked the 10-0 perfect winning streak for the first time since he climbed to sumo’s top rank last year.

He has a two-win lead over ozeki Kotomitsuki, who also won Tuesday.
