Japanese athletes Asanoyama loses in sumo, Gonzalez prepares for boxing title bout

Former ozeki Asanoyama suffered his second consecutive defeat at the Nagoya sumo tournament, citing a lack of focus and an inability to lift his upper body against newcomer Fujin Gawa. He expressed disappointment but pledged to adjust his approach for the next day's matches.
