Hoshoryu Withdraws From the 2026 Aki Basho

Hoshoryu has decided to sit out the Aki Basho after weeks of uncertainty surrounding his injured right knee. After aggravating the injury during the Nagoya Basho, undergoing surgery, and facing a difficult recovery, the Yokozuna ultimately decided that September was simply too soon. #Sumo #Hoshoryu #AkiBasho #GrandSumo #SumoWrestling
