As Trump family tries to grow their nascent cryptocurrency firm, Eric, 41, was reportedly in the Far East to attend a shareholder meeting with the Japanese bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet in Tokyo.

The entrepreneur visited a nearby wrestling arena during his visit and engaged in combat with 34-year-old Yokozuna, a legendary figure in the sport, for a video that was soon shared on Instagram.

“Not every day you get invited to sumo the legend, Yokozuna! Almost had him! 😳A great honor!,” Eric wrote on Instagram as he shares video of the fighting.

“This was awesome,” commented one person.

“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!” another said.

“He went easy on you,” a third user chimed in.
