Francis Ngannou has confirmed the death of his 15-month-old son Kobe in a social media post.
The MMA fighter posted on X: "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."
