Isn’t it surprising? In our imagination, sumo wrestlers are fat but how come they have less fat than us?

As a matter of fact, they are really athletes, so they have more muscle than fat even they look fat.

However, eating and getting heavy are very important for them. In sumo, they don’t have  heavyweight classes, so no matter how they different in their body weight, they will fight in the same sumo ring!

Since they practice everyday, they have excellently soft muscle.
