Roho

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roho is the Sumo name of Boradzov Soslan Feliksovich (born 9 March 1980). He is a Sumo wrestler from Russia who debuted in May 2002 and reached the top makuuchi division in September 2004. His highest rank has been komusubi.

He made headlines in July 2006 for slapping a photographer from Mainichi Newspapers Co., Koji Hyodo, following a bad tempered loss to ozeki Chiyotaikai. He was suspended from the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament for three days by the Japan Sumo Association, but still managed to finish the tournament with more wins than losses.

He is 195cm and weighs 146 kg. His career record stands at 198 wins, 129 losses and 6 absences. His favorite grip is the migi yotsu (right hand on the opponent's belt).

His younger brother Hakurozan is also a sumo wrestler and joined him in the top division in July 2005.
