Hot Springs, Arkansas – At the very first sumo wrestling event ever held in the Natural State, which took place on Sunday in Hot Springs, the battle was on.
It was held in the Bank Ozk Arena, and people had the opportunity to see Hiroki Sumi, who is 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 570 pounds. According to the organizers, he is the largest sumo in the world.
The WWE and movies such as John Wick 4 have both used Hiroki in their respective productions.
Hiroki went belly to belly with Ramy, who is 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 500 pounds. Ramy is extremely long and tall.
In addition to winning the United States Sumo Open in the past, Ramy has won the National Sumo Championship ten times.
The sumo show took place at the same time as the American Craft Sake Festival, which was celebrating its fourth year, and the Arkansas Cherry Blossom Festival, which is celebrating its seventh year, which is a celebration of Japanese culture.
