A fighter with a former sumo background secured a perfect decision victory over an undefeated professional boxer at a mixed martial arts event. Chiyotairyu Hidemasa, known for his massive physique, overwhelming sumo-style charging power, and exhilarating throwing techniques, has become a hot topic among combat sports fans.

According to a report by Japanese media 'iFight' on the 26th, Chiyotairyu competed in a mixed martial arts event held on the 23rd in Madrid, Spain. Chiyotairyu faced off against Spanish professional boxer JR Menasalva, who was riding a five-fight winning streak.

This matchup was not a standard mixed martial arts bout but a special 2-minute, 5-round cage match under the unique rules of 'Sumo vs. Boxing.' Chiyotairyu primarily utilized sumo pushing and throwing techniques, while Menasalva focused on boxing strikes, creating a unique combat sports showdown.

Chiyotairyu, who stood 181cm tall and weighed 189kg during his sumo career, reached the highest rank in the sport. After retiring following the November 2022 tournament, he continued to challenge himself on the combat sports stage, including a participation in 'Breaking Down' in February 2024. Notably, at this event, he appeared with a vivid tattoo on his right arm, showcasing a radical visual transformation that was 180 degrees different from his days as an active sumo wrestler.

From the opening moments, Chiyotairyu seized the initiative by completely dismantling the boxing distance. As soon as the first round began, Chiyotairyu advanced with fierce intensity. Menasalva attempted to create distance with punches but could not withstand the sumo pressure. Chiyotairyu instantly absorbed the opponent's strikes with his forehead, closed the distance, and used his massive frame to push Menasalva into the corner of the cage, bearing down with his full weight. Despite the boxer below trying to resist with punches against Chiyotairyu's heavy pressure from the superior position, Chiyotairyu remained completely still, delivering pounding attacks to perfectly control his opponent.

The highlight came in the second round. With his hands perfectly locked, Chiyotairyu lifted Menasalva into the air and threw him down to the cage floor with an exhilarating move. The local broadcast team screamed in shock, exclaiming, "It's Japan Airlines!" and "It's Tokyo AirLINE!" as the arena was engulfed in the roar of the crowd.

Chiyotairyu's dominant flow continued through the fourth round. Menasalva struggled desperately to endure until the end while being held, suffering extreme physical exhaustion that left vivid red marks on his back from the intense collisions and pushing pressure. Chiyotairyu, who held the advantage in both strategy and combat instinct, overwhelmed his opponent throughout the fifth round, ultimately securing a decision victory and proving the immense power of sumo to the world. The broadcast video of the match spread globally after recording over 16 million views on social networking services (SNS) in an instant.

Local media offered praise, calling it "the most thrilling and enjoyable match of the night," stating "Sumo completely destroyed boxing," and declaring "Edmond Honda from Street Fighter has finally appeared in real life." Other comments noted, "His charging power is so powerful that if you get on top of him with that weight, there is no countermeasure for a boxer," and "I thought sumo wrestlers were slow, but they possess incredible explosive power."
