Having just passed the legendary Taiho and taken sole possession of sumo's all-time tournament win record, yokozuna Hakuho will be back at the Kokugikan in February for the youth tournament bearing his own name. In addition to heaps of eager junior wrestlers from all over Japan, the Hakuho Cup will see challengers from as far as the US and Australia, not to mention Mongolia, the birthplace of all three current yokozuna. The event is free of charge for spectators, so why not head over and watch future champions bout it out?
