Tokyo (Jiji Press)
Mongolian-born yokozuna sumo grand champion Hakuho
is planning to retire, informed sources said Monday.
Although the 36-year-old sumo wrestler belonging to the Miyagino stable
finished the Nagoya grand tournament in July undefeated to claim his record 45th tournament title,
he had never fully recovered from injuries, including the one to his right knee.
Hakuho,
together with his fellow stablemates, missed the entire autumn grand tournament in September after wrestlers at the Miyagino stable tested positive for COVID-19.The Japan News
