Nearly a year after the passing of Marikit “Kitchie” Laurico, Floyd Mayweather honored his late assistant in a touching way.
During the latest episode of the Pivot podcast, Mayweather explained that Laurico was more of an employee to him, she was his best friend.
“Kitchie was the only person in my life I could talk to about anything, who knew my deepest secrets,” Floyd Mayweather explained. “There was no man or woman in my life to whom I said more things than to her.”
Mayweather further explained that Laurico taught him a lot and helped him during “rain, sleet, snow or hail.”
Laurico was notably Mayweather’s assistant for over a decade. Although he had the opportunity to help her financially, he said she never asked him for help. “All my assistant wanted to do was support me and help me be the best man I could be,” she shared. “And she wanted my kids to be positive and she was a positive person.”
Although he and Laurico had planned a trip to Aruba to celebrate her 50th birthday and go to the Super Bowl, she passed away in March 2023. Mayweather said he had encouraged her to seek treatment less than a week before her death.
Although it takes a lot to make the famous fighter cry, Floyd Mayweather immediately broke down while talking about his late best friend.
Kitchie passed away on March 31, 2023. His family released a statement on Instagram regarding his death. “Our brilliant Kitchie ditched the physical garment,” they wrote.
“The ages of Your loving-kindness successively descended upon her and elevated her to the spiritual world. We thank all of you who have reciprocated genuine love and positive energy with her.”

Iyanna shared a sweet video and photos of her with Laurico. “This doesn’t seem real… my heart is so heavy. “You were more than just my dad’s assistant, you were family.”
“You were the definition of someone with a good heart, you always encouraged people and made them feel good about themselves. Kj loved watching ‘sharkie’ with you. There is no one like you who will truly be missed, I will love you forever. “Rip Kitchie.”
Details about Laurico’s death, including the cause of his death, have not been released.
