Hakuho proved once again to be sumo’s man of steel as he over-powered fellow yokozuna Kakuryu en route to matching the all-time record of 32 career championships on the final day of the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament in Fukuoka on Nov. 22.

Hakuho, who won his fourth consecutive title, conquered Kakuryu in dominant fashion to take the coveted Emperor’s Cup with a 14-1 record in the final tournament of 2014.

“I have no words,” said Hakuho when asked his thoughts on achieving Taiho’s mark. (Kyodo)
