Francis Ngannou opened up about the passing of his son. He has been open about the hardships that he encountered on his path to becoming one of the biggest stars in combat sports.
While he has overcome plenty to reach the top of the mountain as a fighter, ‘The Predator’ recently endured the toughest challenge. He confirmed reports of the tragic passing of his 15-month-old son, Kobe Ngannou.
Kobe Ngannou’s cause of death has not yet been revealed to the public. He passed away last Saturday, just over three months after his first birthday. Those close to Ngannou have asked fans to keep the family in their thoughts and prayers while also respecting their privacy.
Francis Ngannou took to X and said:
“01/13/2023 – 04/27/2024. 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. 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.”
