These Sumo wrestlers were shot for Life Magazine at Madison Square Garden in New York City during a special visit in 1986. The bigger wrestler is the biggest (500 lbs. and up) in the 2000 year history of Sumo. His nickname was 'Meatball' though I don't know if anyone ever called him that to his face successfully.
