He's won his first tournament, and won it decisively.

Good to see an FG winning at the national sport of Nippon.
Probably not much chance of him becoming the next FG yokozuna as he is 37 now, and his highest rank was sekiwake.

Some interesting trivia from his Wiki page:

In 1991, Tsevegnyam came to Japan with five other Mongolian wrestlers, including Kyokushūzan, joining Ōshima stable. They were the first Mongolians to join professional sumo. In Mongolia he had had little experience of wrestling or judo, concentrating on basketball in junior high school. Six months after they came to Japan, due to cultural difference, language problems, and the extremely harsh training methods used in sumo, Kyokutenhō, Kyokushuzan and three others ran away and sought refuge in the Mongolian embassy. But he was persuaded by Kyokutenzan to return to his stable.
