Sumo wrestler Hoshoryu promoted to Ozeki NHK

Mongolian sumo wrestler Hoshoryu has been promoted to the second highest rank of Ozeki.

The Japan Sumo Association made the decision at an extraordinary meeting of its board of directors on Wednesday.

Hoshoryu won the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament on Sunday with 12 wins. That gave him 33 wins in his three most recent tournaments as a third-ranking Sekiwake, which is a benchmark for becoming an Ozeki.

Representatives from the sumo association are scheduled to visit the Tatsunami stable's lodging house in Nagoya City to convey the news of his promotion.

Hoshoryu is the first new Ozeki since Kirishima, who was promoted after the summer tournament in May.
