Yusho is used for winning a championship of a league or tornament, usually.
In addition, if you win a championship in a race involving many players, 
it is yusho. This is my personal interpretation. I am not so sure, though.
Championship in sumo is always yusho, but there are many expression of
winning championship in Japanese language.

I don't think Japanese use "yusho" for professional boxing champion, for
example. Again this is based on my memory.
