Sumo Summer Basho will celebrate its first day on the 8th, and Sekiwake and Wakatakakage, who won the first victory in the previous place, will play against Hokutofuji in the flat curtain.
Wakatakakage won his first victory in the spring of March, and it will be interesting to see if the summer will be a solid place for promotion to Ozeki.
On the 8th of the first day, Wakatakakage will play against the third frontal piece, Hokutofuji.
In the past matches, we have won 2 wins and 1 loss, but there has been no match since last fall.
It will be interesting to see if Hokutofuji, who has the characteristic of push sumo, can get off to a good start by giving a white star with a harsh attack from a low position where Wakatakakage shines ahead.
Terunofuji, a yokozuna who took a break due to an injury to his right heel and left knee, is challenged by Daieishō, who returned to Komusubi for the first time in two places.
Terunofuji has won the match with 7 wins and 4 losses, but after losing at the place last fall, the struggle continued, and the destination was also defeated by Daieishō who attacked with a strong throat ring and allowed Venus.
Terunofuji had a scene where he couldn't respond to the sideways attack against the Hiraku wrestlers even in the joint training last month, but if it becomes a four-piece team and the chest is aligned, the advantage will not be shaken.
Daieishō will be able to hit sharply from the standpoint and will not allow him to turn around, and if he can continue to attack without stopping his movements, the game will be interesting even now.
The three Ozeki will face Takayasu, who has 12 wins in the first place, Masayo, Kiribayama, and Kotonowaka, who has been involved in the battle for the championship in two places in a row.
