Mixed martial arts fighter and boxer Francis Ngannou has confirmed the heartbreaking news of his son Kobe's passing in a recent social media post.
Ngannou, 37, shared the news on Monday night, expressing his profound grief over the loss of his beloved son. "Too soon to leave but yet he's gone," Ngannou wrote in the post. "My little boy, my mate, my partner Kobe was full of life and joy. Now, he's laying without life. I shouted his name over and over but he's not responding. I was my best self next to him and now I have no clue of who I am. Life is so unfair to hit us where it hurts the most."
Ngannou, who grew up in poverty in Cameroon, rose to fame as the UFC heavyweight champion before transitioning to boxing last year. Despite his recent successes in the boxing ring, including a competitive match against Tyson Fury and a bout with Anthony Joshua, Ngannou's focus is understandably on his family and coping with this devastating loss.
Messages of condolence poured in from the fighting community, with UFC fighter Conor McGregor among those expressing his sympathy. "I am so sorry to hear of your loss Francis, my prayers are with you and your family at this time," McGregor wrote.
Ngannou's trainer, Eric Nicksick, also shared his sorrow, emphasizing the importance of cherishing loved ones. "It's been a heavy few days, words can't express the pain we all feel for the Ngannou family during this time," Nicksick wrote. "Please keep Francis and his family in your heart, and may this be a reminder of the fragility of life. Say 'I love you' more often, tomorrow isn't guaranteed."
