Marquel Martin, manager of the Cameroonian fighter, and Eric Nicksick, his trainer, confirmed that Ngannou is going through difficult times.
Currently, no information on this tragedy has been given. But the former UFC heavyweight champion expressed his emotion with a few sentences on social networks. “What is the purpose of life if what we fight tooth and nail is what ultimately hits us the hardest!?,” Ngannou wrote. “Why is life so unfair and unforgiving? Why does life always take what we don't have? I'm tired…”
The Cameroonian media 237online and specialist journalist Aaron Bronsteter announced the sad news before this half-hearted confirmation.
Recruited in 2023 by the PFL, the Cameroonian has recently taken on another dimension by challenging Tyson Fury then Anthony Joshua in English boxing. But sport is of little importance in the face of this kind of ordeal.
