Sydney Thomas posted new pictures from her ring girl duties at Jake Paul and Mike Tyson’s Netflix boxing match on Friday night.
The 20-year-old gained popularity as fans hailed her ‘the real winner’ after Paul and Tyson starred in a 16-minute snooze fest at AT&T Stadium.
Two days after the event concluded, Thomas gave her growing following an inside look into her fight night shift.
Thomas’ carousel included pictures of her posing on one of the ring corners, her standing ringside, a group photo with her fellow ring girls, and clips of her holding the round signs in the squared circle.
‘What a night,’ she wrote with a boxing glove emoji. ‘Getting the opportunity to step into the ring with @MikeTyson and @JakePaul for such a historic fight is something I never imagined I’d be able to say.

‘Words can’t describe this moment or how grateful I am to be part of such an amazing team at @MostValuablePromotions,’ she added. ‘History was made, and I’m truly honored to have been a part of it.’
At the pre-fight press conference, Thomas posted a clip of herself on stage. She flashed the finger strap on her outfit to the camera before it turned to show the backdrop for the presser.
‘Ring girl, close enough,’ she wrote. The video has amassed 1.1 million likes on TikTok. Her new popularity also had Thomas’ following grow to 872k on the platform.
Additionally, she has 549k followers on her Instagram page.

Paul’s unanimous decision victory over Tyson, 58, left many viewers worldwide disappointed but conversely, Thomas sent the internet into meltdown.
She had been joined by fellow ring girls Virginia Sanhouse, Lexi Williams, Delia Sylvain and Raphaela Milagres for the Netflix showpiece.
Thomas is a University of Alabama student, where she balances her academic life with modelling, and made her ring girl debut last month at a fight in Puerto Rico.
