Kickboxer beats sumo wrestler
A former world kick-boxing champion managed to win his latest fight - against an opponent more than 18 stones heavier than him.
Rick Roufus was up against Hawaiian sumo wrestler Akebono who, apart from the massive weight advantage, was also nine inches taller.
But, partly due to his tactic of peppering Akebono's legs with kicks, Roufus managed to come out on top, reports Sherdog News.
Akebono couldn't pin the smaller man down and Roufus, one of the United States greatest kickboxers, enjoyed a unanimous win on points.
"I feel like a kid again in the sandbox," he declared. "It feels great to be back."

Speed and fluidness beats brute strength.
"Speed and Power vs. Just Plain Meanness".
That's how they hyped Victor Rivera vs. Crusher Verdue back in the early '70's.
OK, back now to our regularly scheduled programming...
