Tsurugisho (34, real name Kentaro Abiko), a former Japanese sumo wrestler who once boasted the highest weight in the sumo world, set an unconventional goal of halving his weight with his retirement. This is because sumo wrestlers' weight gain is important as it is directly related to their performance, but it is also pointed out as a fatal factor that threatens their lives after retirement.

Japanese media Junichi Sports reported on the 14th that "Turu Gisho, who retired from active duty after the last spring competition, held a retirement press conference at national institutions in both Tokyo."

Tsurugisho, who has maintained the top-ranked Sekitori rating in the sumo world for about 10 years, declared at a retirement press conference that he would "reduce the weight that reached 200kg during the peak of his active career to 100kg."

The knee injury was too chronic to support the 200kg giant. Tsurugisho recorded 10 wins and 5 losses in his debut season, ranking sixth in the first division, but he fell into a slump due to continued injuries. In the end, Tsurugisho left the sandboard with a disappointing result of losing all 15 games as a second division player in the tournament held in March. Taking local reports together, it is the first time since 2020 that all 15 losses in the second division came out.

The decision to retire and lose weight was largely due to the presence of a wife who married in January this year. His wife, Yuka, an incumbent flight attendant, reportedly drove out to meet her husband when he couldn't even take public transportation due to an injury to his left knee at the end of his active duty.

In response, Tsurugisho said, "I started to lose weight little by little as I reduced my meal to a bowl of rice and stopped eating late-night snacks. "It's not harder to walk than before, so I'm also taking a light walk," he said.

Then, Tsurugisho said, "I wanted to continue playing sumo until I had exhausted my energy. But I lost all of the last tournament, and after the last game, I encouraged my wife to do a great job," he said. According to the Daily, the Thrugi show plans to hold a single ceremony at the wedding and reception scheduled for June, which means retirement of sumo wrestlers.

In fact, it is known that Tsurugi Shaw is already trying to lose weight. Currently, Tsurugi Shaw weighs 175 kilograms, down from his active days. It is still necessary to lose 75kg more to the target.
