The July basho starts early (07/04) due to the Olympics. This will be an exciting one to watch.

- Hakkuho has announced that he will retire this year. This or one of the next two will be our last chance to watch the greatest Yokozuna ever in action.

- With a yusho in July, Terunofuji could ascend to the rank of Yokozuna and cap off the greatest ever comeback in the sport

- A 10 + win basho would set Mitekiumi up to vie for Ozeki status in September

- Another poor showing could spell the end of Tochinoshin's career. One of the fiercest competitors of recent years.

Here is the Banzuke for July:
