MMA fighter Francis Ngannou announces his 15-month-old son has died

Heavyweight MMA fighter and boxer Francis Ngannou shared news on Monday in a heartbreaking social media post that his 15-month-old son, Kobe, has died. The mixed martial artist did not disclose his son's cause of death but shared that Ngannou 'shouted his name over and over but he's not responding.' 'Life is so unfair to hit us where it hurts the most,' Ngannou wrote.

He has also boxed professionally, nearly defeating heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in October 2023 and losing by second-round KO to former titleholder Anthony Joshua in March. The 37-year-old is known as arguably the biggest knockout artist in MMA history for the power in his right hand. Ngannou, 17-3 in MMA, has 16 wins by early finish. His announcement sparked waves of condolences from fellow athletes, fans, and others who commented on Ngannou's social media.
