that screenshot is from the original game, the names were switched when it was ported to English.

i'd say fighting games are not sports games the same way GTA is not a racing game. boxing, MMA, wrestling those are all fine, once you start throwing fireballs, turning people to ice and busting out moves like Voldo, as fun as those games might be, they are not sports games.
