Neymar plays with Legendary Sumo wrestler

Neymar attends his Gaga Milano watch launch in Tokyo as Barcelona star shares embrace with legendary Mongolian sumo wrestler.

Neymar is used to pitting his wits against towering opposition defenders but nobody of the enormity of sumo wrestler Harumafuji Kōhei, who attended the launch of his new jewellery range.

The Brazilian seemed to be enjoying himself as he embraced the Mongolian behemoth who joined him at a press event centred on his new watch.

The duo were in Gaga Milano Harajuku store in Tokyo and a large crowd was gathered outside taking pictures in the Japanese capital. 

Neymar launched his own watch for the brand of which he has become an ambassador 

There were promotional black and white posters of the highly marketable Barcelona striker in the background and he was also joined by Gaga Milano president Reuben Tomella. 

Neymar is an ambassador for the brand having originally been a supporter of the luxury boutique. 

On one previous visit to the store he splashed out £140,000 on 14 new watches and has now teamed up to create his own design, a quirky timepiece with oversized numbers on the dial.

Sumo wrestler Kohei is also a star in his own right and enjoyed the limelight. 

Kohei is a yokozuna, sumo's highest rank, and only the fifth non-Japanese wrestler to attain such a high status in the sport. 

Like Neymar, he is used to bringing home silverware, having achieved eight top division championships in his career. 

Neymar is clearly enjoying the off-season already and will hope to be lifting more gleaming silverware next season rather than just wearing it on his wrist.
