In a heartbreaking post on social media, the Cameroonian shares that his son recently lost his life. Kobe was only 18 months old. It is not known what the cause of his son’s death is and Ngannou has not yet made a public statement about the matter, with the exception of the post on social media.
– I called his name again and again, but he did not respond, he writes.
– How do you handle such a thing? How can you live with that? Please help me if you have any ideas, because I really don’t know what to do and how to handle this, Ngannou continues.
The Cameroonian is a former UFC heavyweight champion and one of the biggest stars when he fought in the world’s biggest martial arts organization.
He has later shifted his focus to boxing, where he has also impressed.
In his debut, he shook the star Tyson Fury where, among other things, he had to take a count on the ground. In his second fight against Anthony Joshua in March, he lost by knockout in the second round.
The news of his son’s passing has shaken the entire martial arts community and several stars have come out with their public support for Ngannou.
Among them is Conor McGregor.
– I am so sorry to hear about your loss Francis. My prayers are with you and your family at this time, writes the Irishman.
