FRANCIS NGANNOU tearfully made his return to MMA by viciously knocking out Renen Ferreira – and dedicated it to his late son Kobe.
Ngannou was beaten in the boxing ring by Anthony Joshua in March but suffered a far greater loss just a month later.
His son Kobe – only 15-months-old – suddenly passed away to leave Ngannou devastated and contemplating retirement.
But the heavyweight hero – who emigrated from Cameroon to France on foot over the course of a year – vowed to fight for his boy.
And with Kobe tattooed on his bicep, Ngannou dedicated victory to son as he broke down in tears in the cage.
