Eric Trump tries his hand at Sumo wrestling with Yokozuna while visiting Japan for business
“Not every day you get invited to sumo the legend”
Posting the clips on September 1, the 41-year-old businessman and executive vice president of the Trump Organization wrote: “Not every day you get invited to sumo the legend, Yokozuna! Almost had him! A great honor!”
Bearhugged out of the ring
In the first match, Eric Trump and the Yokozuna squared off before the wrestler effortlessly lifted and bearhugged him out of the dohyō—the circular sumo ring. A second video showed the grand champion spinning Trump around “like a helicopter rotor,” drawing laughs from spectators.
Photos with sumo wrestlers
Trump’s post also featured a group photo of himself standing alongside the Yokozuna and other professional wrestlers, commemorating the lighthearted event.
Business ties to Japan
Beyond the sumo spectacle, Trump was in Tokyo to support Metaplanet, a Japanese bitcoin treasury company. He was appointed as an adviser to the firm in March, according to Reuters.
