Floyd Mayweather breaks down in tears when discussing the death of his assistant

Mayweather's Emotional Tribute

Floyd Mayweather was left heartbroken and in tears as he emotionally discussed the passing of his long-time assistant, Marikit "Kitchie" Laurico. Kitchie, who worked closely with Mayweather for much of his 25-year unbeaten career, was described by Mayweather as a sister and his closest confidant.

Plans Cut Short

Despite their close bond, Kitchie tragically passed away in March 2023 due to reported health issues. Mayweather tearfully revealed that they had plans to celebrate her 50th birthday in Aruba and attend the most recent Super Bowl in Las Vegas, but sadly, she passed away before they could fulfill their plans.

A Sisterly Bond

During an emotional tribute on The Pivot Podcast, Mayweather shared, "Kitchie was the only person in life that I could talk about anything to, that knew my deepest secrets. There was no male or female in my life that I told more stuff to than her. She taught me a lot, she helped me a lot. Through rain, sleet, snow or hail, she had my back."

Family Statement

A statement posted on Kitchie's Instagram account by her family confirmed her passing on March 31, 2023, and expressed gratitude for the outpouring of love and support. Plans for a homegoing celebration of Kitchie's life are currently in progress.
