The son of an MMA fighter and boxer “was full of life and joy, Among those who sent their condolences was Conor McGregor
Kobe Ngannou, his 15-month-old son, passed away, as Francis Ngannou confirmed on social media, Too soon to go, but he’s gone, the boxer and mixed martial arts competitor wrote on X. Kobe, my lover, my mate, and my little kid, was vivacious and joyful. He is now lifeless on the ground. I called out his name repeatedly, but he didn’t answer.
When I was with him, I was at my best, and now I don’t know who I am. We get hit where it hurts the most in life, which is very unjust.
Ngannou lost badly to Anthony Joshua in March after pushing Tyson Fury in his debut professional boxing battle in Saudi Arabia in October.
UFC athlete Conor McGregor sent his condolences, tweeting, “My prayers are with you and your family at this time. I am so sorry to hear of your loss, Francis.
