Sumo Grand Champion Asashoryu has retired from the traditional Japanese professional sport, saying that he is very sorry for causing trouble due to assault allegations against him.
The Mongolian-born Yokozuna submitted his written retirement to a Japan Sumo Association board meeting on Thursday. The board accepted his retirement.
The board meeting heard from Asashoryu about his alleged assault of a man last month, during the time of the New Year sumo tournament, after he had been drinking.
Later, he said at a news conference that this is a time for him to put an end to the confusion he has caused. He said he does not regret quitting sumo after winning 25 tournament championships in his career.
