Francis Ngannou, a fighter in mixed martial arts and boxing, sadly confirmed the passing of his 15-month-old son, Kobe.
Ngannou took to social media to share the heartbreaking news on Monday, posting a picture of Kobe, indicating his passing on Saturday, April 27th.
Expressing his grief, Ngannou wrote, “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?”
