Viral Jake Paul-Mike Tyson ring girl, an Alabama student, shares pics, thoughts on event
The fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson – and the Netflix stream – may not have met expectations Friday night, but Sydney Thomas left her mark on the night.
Thomas went viral during the event. She recapped the night on Instagram, exclaiming, “What a night.”
Thomas, a University of Alabama student, made her boxing ring girl debut in October at a fight in Puerto Rico, per Outkick.
“Adding ‘ring girl’ to the resume,” Thomas, a St. Louis Cardinals dugout girl, posted on Instagram. “Had a blast getting in the ring for my first ever boxing event (and first time in Puerto Rico). I thank God every day for allowing me to be a part of such amazing opportunities and experiences. Truly feeling so blessed. See you next time for Round 2.”
