BOXING legend Floyd Mayweather’s long-time assistant has passed away suddenly.
Marikit “Kitchie” Laurico died at age 47 after a relationship with boxing legend Mayweather for decades.
Some reports claim she was feeling ill after a recent trip to Dubai, but recent posts seem to indicate she was on the mend.
The cause of her death has not been confirmed, though some reports claim it was a heart attack.
Mayweather’s daughter posted a tribute to the late Marikit, saying: “This doesn’t feel 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 lifted people up and made them feel good about themselves.
“There’s no one like you will truly be missed, love you forever.”
Last month, Conor McGregor announced he wanted a rematch with Mayweather in the MMA.
McGregor put his UFC career on hold in 2017 to cross over to the boxing world for a money-spinning bout with the American legend.
During their heated press tour, Mayweather boldly stated he would return the favour for a rematch in the cage.

Now, approaching six years on, the Irishman, 34, wants another shot at Mayweather, 46.
McGregor said on Fox News: “That was the original, it was a verbal agreement, I box him, he fights me. But he didn’t honour it.
