Sydney Thomas became a new fan favourite after her appearance as a ring girl recently.
The 21-year-old went viral during the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight card last November.
In the fight Paul comfortably defeated a 58-year-old Mike Tyson on points in a lacklustre affair that was broadcast on Netflix.
The true star of the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson event wasn't the fighters themselves, but rather the ring girl, Sydney Thomas.
Her presence during the fight captured significant attention, overshadowing the main event.

She recently took part in a podcast and was asked about the weirdest direct message that she has received since her rise in fame.
The University of Alabama student has been inundated with direct messages from admirers and revealed a football coach had slid her a DM.
“It was from another SEC football team coach. And they just DM’d me, ‘Roll Tide,’” she said on the “Like a Farmer Podcast”
“So I’m not going to say what coach it was, but they’re an Alabama fan, now at least. We’ll let everyone else figure that out for themselves, who it was.”
Internet detectives think they have worked out exactly who Thomas is going on about.
