2017 • E14 Mar 9, 2017 50m
The March Grand Sumo Tournament opens with huge expectations for newly promoted Yokozuna Kisenosato, who won the previous tourney in January to finally reach the sport's highest rank. The strong contender for the championship in Osaka will have to contend with Yokozuna Hakuho, who'll be aiming for his 38th title, and his first since May 2016. In addition to the yokozuna battle, the preview show also looks at up-and-coming wrestlers who could shake up the March tournament.
