Eric took it to his Instagram and praised the Yokozuna with a photo. He wrote, “Not every day you get called into the ‘ring’ by the great Yokozuna! These men are incredible. A truly great honour! I’ll be sticking to real estate."
The video shared on the social media quickly caught the attention of netizens, who praised his humour in the face of easy defeat. One user wrote, “Lol, this was great! Made me laugh so much when he swung you around."
Another added, “Much respect to this sport. I can’t tell from the vid, but I know Hoshoryu is a Yokozuna. He took it easy on you inside the dohyo!"
