Francis Ngannou: 15-Month-Old Son Of Former UFC Champion And Boxer Dies by Dapromzy333(m): 11:12pm On Apr 29
Heavyweight boxer Francis Ngannou's 15-month-old son Kobe has died.

The former UFC champion posted on X on Monday night: "Too soon to leave but yet he's gone.

"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."

The fighter's manager Marquel Martin posted online saying that he along with "millions of others" will be praying for the Cameroonian.

Conor McGregor was among the fighters and fans to send their condolences to the 37-year-old boxer and former mixed martial arts (MMA) star.

"I am so sorry to hear of your loss Francis, my prayers are with you and your family at this time," the Irishman replied on X.

Ngannou's last bout was a heavy defeat by Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia. After the fight he dismissed the suggestion of returning permanently to MMA where he made his name.

Omg.. the death of a child is the worst thing any parent can experience.. I do not wish this on any parent, I pray no one experiences death of a loved one this year… reminds me of how careless Davido and his handbag (chioma) was, but what do you expect from a hookup girl dropping out of school to become an assurance to a yeyebrity…

Anyways I pray death never sees any nairalander this year !! Peace and Love!

God have mercy.

No parent should ever experience this; losing a child, goodness Lord cry


It's scary to imagine.


And that age is the age children happens to be the sweetest, so adorable, so fun to be with and so lovely to behold.
