HOT SPRINGS NATIONAL PARK, Arkansas — Six sumo champions will compete April 11 in All Star Sumo, an elite sumo round robin tournament at Hot Springs’ Bank OZK Arena.

“These will be six world-famous sumo champions competing in head-to-head competition. It will be great entertainment for fans of all ages. We haven’t settled on the six competitors yet, but we’ll have that lineup soon.

“This is going to be rapid-fire nonstop action featuring the best of the best sumo competitors in the world.”

Tickets — $25 general admission and $55 for floor seats — go on sale February 9 through Ticketmaster at www.ticketmaster.com. Competition will start at 7:30 p.m.
