Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou shared a heartfelt tribute to his late son Kobe after the 15-month-old tragically passed away recently.
Ngannou, a former undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, acknowledged the loss of his young son Kobe and expressed gratitude for the support from fans and social media followers during this difficult time.
“It’s too early for him to leave, but he’s gone,” Francis Ngannou wrote on his blog. his official Twitter account. “My little boy, my pride, and my joy Kobe was full of life. Now he’s lifeless. I called his name over and over, but he didn’t respond.”
“I was my best self when I was with him, and now I don’t know who I am,” Ngannou continued. “Life is incredibly unfair as it strikes us where it hurts the most. How do you cope with something like this? How do you live with it? What should I do, how can I handle it? I don’t know what to do, so if you have any suggestions, please help.”
Ngannou shared a touching tribute to Kobe on social media after the emotional all-night burial ceremony attended by his close friend and former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, referring to his son as a “king.”
