Mönkhbat was a Titan in Mongolian wrestling, a top rank in the sport, with six Naadam championship wins (1963–1967, 1974). He won five tournaments in a row, a feat achieved by only two other athletes in the modern history of Mongolian wrestling (since 1922). His name Mönkhbat means "Eternal firm" in the Mongolian language.
He was the father of professional sumo wrestler Hakuhō Shō, who held the top rank of yokozuna in that sport before retiring. His son Hakuhō regards his six Nadaam championships as the equivalent of 36 tournament championships in sumo (as sumo tournaments are held six times a year) and used that as motivation to keep going even after passing Taihō's record of 32 championships.[2]
