    Now for some impressive bow action

  6. WINNER - Hoshoryupublished at 21:53 BST 18 October

    Bout 20

    Hoshoryu shows why he's a Yokozuna!

    Comfortable win against Takayasu.

    Hoshoryu joins Onosato and Tobizaru at 4-0.

    Setting it up nicely for tomorrow's final!

    Takayasu used to be Hoshoryu’s kryptonite - the veteran beat him 9 times out of 12. But Hoshoryu won the last two times they met.

    The Yokozuna is in great form, but Takayasu is very hard to beat.

    Will we see an upset?

    Here is the final bout of the evening

  8. WINNER - Onosatopublished at 21:49 BST 18 October

    Bout 19

    Not quite, but a good battle from Aonishiki!

    Onosato keeps his perfect record against Aonishiki and reaches Tobizaru at 4-0.

    Bout 18

    A bizarre face off at the tachiai, followed by a great belt battle.

    Huge cheer from the crowd as Tobizaru beats Kirishima by shitatenage and goes 4-0.

    Can he go all the way in tomorrow's final?!

    Build-up will start from 13:00 BST tomorrow!

  11. WINNER - Wakatakakagepublished at 21:40 BST 18 October

    Wakatakakage shows off his technical abilities and wins by okurinage (rear throw down).

  12. WINNER - Tamawashipublished at 21:34 BST 18 October

    Bout 16

    A brutal bout between Tamawashi and Abi. Nobody's going to beat the 40-year-old in a slapping match with a oshidashi (rontal push out).

    The crowd goes wild once again!
