Francis Ngannou had Kamaru Usman's support even during the direst of his days
The photos in Francis Ngannou's aforementioned Instagram post showcased that Kamaru Usman is pretty good as a host when the plan is to have a lighthearted time. But 'The Nigerian Nightmare's' actions indicate that he isn't just Ngannou's energizer friend. Instead, he knows how to stay by his friend even during the tough times.
Usman was there to support his friend Ngannou when he lost his 15-month-old son Kobe in the first half of 2024. Several social media posts showcased Usman attending the funeral of Kobe alongside Ngannou in Cameroon.
