Sato's conjecture for smooth Fano varieties of Picard number one

From papers

Let XX be a smooth Fano variety of Picard number one, and suppose that XX admits a non-isomorphic surjective endomorphism ff.

Sato's conjecture. XX is a projective space.

This is a long-standing conjecture from the 1980s and is presented as a special case or extension of the rationally connected variety question. The supplied text does not state that it has been resolved in general.
