Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou shared heartbreaking news on Monday, April 29, announcing the passing of his 15-month-old son, Kobe. Ngannou, who recently faced Anthony Joshua in a boxing match in Saudi Arabia, expressed the profound loss, remembering Kobe as vibrant and joyful.

“Now, he’s laying without life. I shouted his name over and over but he’s not responding,” Ngannou wrote, reflecting on life’s unfairness, admitting that he felt his best self in his son’s presence.

Seeking guidance, he reached out on Instagram, asking how to cope with such a loss: “How do you deal with such a thing? How can you live with it? Please help me if you have an idea because I really don’t know what to do and how to deal with this.” As of now, the cause of Kobe’s passing remains undisclosed.
