Francis Ngannou Reveals Heartbreaking News About the Loss of His 15-Month-Old Son

Francis Ngannou plans to honor his late son, Kobe, in his upcoming fight against Renan ‘Problema’ Ferreira on October 19. Ngannou revealed the heartbreaking news of his 15-month-old son’s passing in April, receiving an outpouring of support from the MMA and boxing communities.

In a recent discussion with Sky Sports, Ngannou explained his recent feelings about the loss of his son and how he has gotten 'motivation to fight for him.'

Ngannou told Sky Sports:
"This is not a great moment for me. I need some activities. I need to stay active to be in a zone that I belong to. I also need to keep it going, to fight for my boy, for Kobe. The past few months hasn't been the easiest. I think it has been by far my hardest [moment] in life. I lost my son. For some time, I felt like I didn't even have to do this or questioning about if I should do it or fight again. But I want to do something good in his memory. Not to be the reason for me to quit but to be motivation and also to fight for him."

Ngannou will compete against Renan 'Problema' Ferreira for the Professional Fighters League Super Fight belt on October 19.
