Kobe, the 15-month-old son of ex-UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, has passed away.

Ngannou shared the heartbreaking news on social media in response to circulating reports in his homeland of Cameroon.

Expressing deep grief, Ngannou questioned the fairness of life, pondering why it seems to relentlessly take away what is most precious to us.

Ngannou has also posted a message on Instagram: “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 clude (clue) of who I am. Life is so unfair to hit us where it hurts the most. How do you deal with such a thing? How can you live with it? Please help me if you have an idea because I really don’t know what to do and how to deal with this.”

The circumstances of Francis Ngannou’s son’s death are unknown at this time.

Ngannou, 37, is coming off a second-round knockout loss to Anthony Joshua in his second professional boxing match on March 8. Ngannou, who is signed to the PFL, has remained mum on his future in boxing and MMA since the defeat.

Nigerian social media entrepreneur Clara Chizoba Kronborg has set a new Guinness World Record for the longest interview marathon, clocking in at 55 hours and 24 seconds.Nigerian Woman Wins Guinness World Record Of Longest Interviewer

Clara, host of a YouTube talk show, interviewed 90 individuals from diverse backgrounds, exploring their paths to success.

Despite facing challenges like a hoarse voice and a rainstorm, Clara persevered, even wearing adult diapers due to limited breaks.

Her achievement aims to inspire others, especially women, to pursue their dreams relentlessly.

Clara was quoted as saying: “This record attempt was about bringing together diverse individuals, sharing their inspiring narratives, and forging meaningful connections on a global scale.

“I am committed to amplifying voices, particularly those of hardworking women, and using their stories to inspire others facing similar challenges.”Clara’s record attempt took place on a docked yacht in the Spanish city of Marbella, where she currently lives.In addition to the usually sunny harbour being struck by a heavy rainstorm, Clara faced several difficulties during her record attempt.She says her voice became “very hoarse and rusty” but she avoided losing it by drinking lots of water.

A report by GWR said, “As with all ‘longest marathon’ record attempts, Clara accrued five minutes of rest time after each hour of interviewing; only during these breaks was she permitted to nap, change her clothes, or go to the bathroom.

“So, to compensate for the large volume of water she was consuming, Clara wore adult diapers throughout her record attempt.”“Even worse, my period started the same day, and I was already having intense menstrual cramps,” she revealed.“At some point I was literally dripping pee and period stain, but I persevered and kept my eyes on the goal. To anyone who ever reads this, once you find your purpose, go after it with everything you’ve got.”Clara also reportedly suffered neck and back aches, which her team relieved with massages during her rest breaks.The report said she also struggled with sleepiness at multiple points but according to her, she gained a “battery recharge” every time she began interviewing a new guest, as she was eager to hear their story.Enduring all the hardships was worth it for Clara, who says it feels “surreal” to now hold this world record.“Recalling everything I went through physically, mentally, financially, emotionally – it feels so unreal,” she said.“I am extremely proud of this accomplishment because I know lives have been touched and changed.“This achievement is dedicated to all those who dare to dream and persist, regardless of the challenges they face.”Clara’s achievement comes a few days after fellow Nigerian, Tunde Onakoya, set a new Guinness World Record for the longest marathon chess.Onakoya on Wednesday recounted how he cancelled his flight returning to Nigeria from the United States to embark on the chess marathon.He also noted that he walked to the chess board with sickness, tears in his eyes, fear and uncertainty.Onakoya said that two days before the record attempt, his health failed him, and it was so bad that he started sneezing blood and coughing violently but he was resolute to embark on the attempt to set a new record.“After 60 hours of mental torture, we set a new record for the longest chess marathon in the world. We pushed human limitation and gave the world something new to believe in,” he said.The challenge was held at New York City’s iconic Times Square.
