Pick a day

What to watch on day 15

Picked by rules, without this day's results. Some reasons use how the tournament is going.

  1. Hakuho vs Baruto
    Yokozuna Hakuho against ōzeki Baruto: the very top of the banzuke.
  2. Kotooshu vs Harumafuji
    Ōzeki against ōzeki: Kotooshu vs Harumafuji.
  3. Kisenosato vs Kotoshogiku
    Ōzeki against ōzeki: Kisenosato vs Kotoshogiku.
  4. Kakuryu vs Goeido
    Kakuryu leads the tournament at 13-1: a slip would tighten the yūshō race.
  5. Okinoumi vs Takanoyama
    Okinoumi is one win from kachi-koshi (7-7).
