The most anticipated match of the July 2021 tournament pitted Yokozuna Hakuhō Shō against Ozeki (second rank) Terunofuji, who is also Mongolian. Having two foreigners competing in the oldest and most revered Japanese sport is similar to the final game of the baseball World Series being played between Mexico and Canada, while the Americans sit back and watch. After the tournament, Mongolia’s Terunofuji was promoted to sumo’s highest rank, becoming the 73^rd Yokozuna in sumo history.
