The mixed martial artist and boxer Francis Ngannou reported the death of his 15-month-old son Kobe on social media.
On Monday night, the 37-year-old fighter shared a picture of his son on X, indicating that Kobe passed away on Saturday, April 27.
Ngannou commented in the post, “Too soon to leave but yet he’s gone.”
“Kobe, my spouse, my companion, and my little baby, was a happy and vibrant person. He’s dead now, laying there. I kept calling out his name, but he didn’t answer.
“Beside him, I was the finest version of myself, and now I don’t know who I am. When life hits us where it hurts the most, it is so unjust.
“How would you handle anything like that? How are you able to tolerate it?
Conor McGregor, another fighter in the UFC, was one among the people who sent condolences via social media.
McGregor wrote, “Reading this Francis gutted me.”
“I am so sorry to hear this news; I can only fathom the agony you are going through right now. I want God to grant him the nicest and safest spot in paradise until we cross paths again.”
Trainer Eric Nicksick, a Frenchman living in Cameroon, also tweeted his sympathies, saying, “Words cannot express the pain we all feel for the Ngannou family during this difficult time. It’s been a heavy few days.”
“May this serve as a reminder of the frailty of life, and please remember Francis and his family in your prayers. Don’t forget to tell them you love them; tomorrow may not come.
