Boxer and MMA fighter Francis Ngannou’s 15-month-old son Kobe dies

‘Too soon to leave but yet he’s gone,’ Ngannou wrote in a social media post annoucing his son’s death.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou’s 15-month-old son Kobe has died, the boxer said in a social media post.

Ngannou, 37, posted a black and white photo with his son late on Monday and 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,” Ngannou added.
