In a statement to PEOPLE, Mayweather’s attorney, Kent Schaffer, said, “We resolved the case between Iyanna and the State. The agreement calls for Iyanna being on deferred adjudication for a period of 6 years after which she will have no felony conviction and the case will be dismissed. She is eligible to have the deferred adjudication end after two years pending her good behavior.”
“Although we believe that Iyanna was defending herself after being attacked, we thought this was the safest resolution for her,” he added. “This is especially true since her boyfriend and his bodyguards refused to testify; probably due to their own legal problems.”
A representative for Youngboy NBA did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
