Floyd Mayweather Sr. is training her and getting her ready for her pro Debut, that will take place on March 4, 2011, in Woodland Hills on a Bash Promotions card. Her opponent has not been named at this time. Yolanda is 5'9 " and fights at 130 lbs.

Owen said, "I watched Ezell spar and she has those Mayweather moves, a very strong jab and is a natural in the ring. Yolanda will be a boxer to watch, she will bring a lot to the sport and has style and class."
