Sumo stars clash on penultimate day of London tournament

For one week, a corner of London has been transformed into a pocket of ancient Japan, with dozens of sumo wrestlers descending on the city in a rare foray outside the sport's homeland.

Crowds have flocked to the renowned concert hall throughout the five-day event, which features an authentic soil-and-sand dohyo. The event is the first staged by the Japan Sumo Association outside the country since 2013 and marks a return to the British capital after a 34-year absence.
