July 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament Preview

The July 2026 Grand Sumo tournament heads to the IG Arena in Nagoya, Japan! Can May runner-up Kirishima capture the Nagoya basho championship in commanding fashion and possibly become the next yokozuna? Can Onosato, Hoshoryu and Ukrainian star Aonishiki bounce back from the injuries that took them out of the May tournament? And what's going on with May yusho winner Wakatakakage? In this Grand Sumo preview, I break down the July makuuchi banzuke, key storylines, injury updates, power rankings, and my predictions for who lifts pro sumo wrestling’s Emperor’s Cup. 🔗 Visit my website: https://www.sumojojo.com 🎵 Music: "Overdrive" by Corbyn Kites 🎵 Music: "Space Navigator" by Sarah, The Illstrumentalist #sumo #grandsumo #sumowrestling #nagoyabasho2026 #nagoyabasho
