OSAKA, Mar. 9. – The 34 year old Grand Champion Yoshibayama
is believed to have to stay out of the ring for the rest of the current
15-day tournament competition as he received a severe cut on his left forefinger
during his bout with Hajimayama Wednesday from which he emerged victorious.
Yoshibayama said at the hospital, "I did not think
the cut was so bad," when the doctor told him that four or five stitches
are necessary.
