Coming off of a disappointing 3 straight losses after day 5, the lone Yokozuna kept up steam and caught up with yusho leader OzekiGoeido to clinch the championship in a playoff match.
This marks his 9th yusho, requiring just one more yusho to be considered a Dai-Yokozuna.
Aki 2017 was one hell of a roller coaster, so many important rikishi out, lots of upsets, yet in the end the sole Yokozuna managed what could be considered a historical turn of tables! :)
