Japan: 1990, Tokyo - Konishiki gets fired up during a grand sumo tournament in Tokyo in 1990. Born Saleva'a Fuauli Atisano'e, Konishiki became the first foreign-born wrestler ever to reach ozeki, the second highest rank in the sport. His career spanned 15 years from 1982 to 1997. At a peak weight of 287 kg, he was the heaviest rikishi ever in sumo, earning him the nickname "The Dump Truck." (Photo by Fujifotos/AFLO) FYJ
