Initial reports said Harumafuji struck Takanoiwa on the head with a beer bottle resulting in serious injuries, possibly including a skull fracture.
However, Harumafuji told Tottori police that he struck with his palms, fists and a karaoke machine remote control device, media reports quoted investigative sources as saying.
The comments section of the Washington Post one is hilarious. Someone who at least has the handle of Harumafuji is there responding to everything everyone says by declaring that everything everyone says is an anti-sumo bias.
