Donald Trump’s third child, Eric Trump, locked horns with the legendary wrestler Yokozuna in sumo wrestling during his Japan trip. Eric recently attended a shareholder meeting with the Japanese bitcoin company, Metaplanet, in Tokyo.

During his trip, Eric visited a wrestling arena and attempted sumo wrestling with Yokozuna, 34. Sharing a series of clips on Instagram, Eric documented his attempt at the sport. Dressed casually in a sky blue polo shirt and denim shorts instead of the traditional mawashi loincloth, he can be seen trying to defend himself as the wrestler effortlessly lifts him and places him outside the ring.

In another clip, Yokozuna hoists Eric into the air while he makes a half-hearted pushback. “Not every day you get invited to sumo the legend, Yokozuna! Almost had him! A great honor!” he captioned the post.

Watch here:

The video amassed a range of reactions as several social media users were left amused. “Lol. this was great! Made me laugh so much when he swung you around. Ha ha! So good to have good humor. What a fun experience!” a user wrote. “Too funny but you’re a good sport. I give you credit for trying. I like when he picked you up,” another user commented.

“Oh my goodness! the sumo guy didn’t even move from his spot . You are good sports Eric,” a third user reacted. “Good try Eric! I think to be a contender you should probably think about gaining a couple hundred pounds,” a fourth user said.

Eric, 41, recently shared that he spends more than half of his time on crypto projects. During the second annual Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, Eric predicted that Bitcoin would reach $175,000 by the end of this year.
