Look at the two pictures.
Asashoryu, one of the most successuful sumo wrestlers of all time and the Chelsea Flower Show.
Chanko nabe, salt-tossing, early morning exercises in the stable versus the Royal visit, Chelsea, green-fingers. They don't seem to belong together, do they?
This year, however, the enfant terrible, the bad boy, the Big bad boy of sumo will be making an appearance at the Chelsea Flower Show, citing a passion for flowers.
Sensationally ending an incredible run in the ring with premature retirement earlier this year, the big Mongolian has clearly got some time on his hands.
And it seems the Japanese haven't quite got rid of Asa yet, in spite of their best efforts across a career dogged with incident and controversy. He'll be meeting Kazuyuki Ishihara, Gold award winning gardener and creator of the above.
I want to meet him.
