Sydney Thomas hints she’s back on ring girl duty this weekend after stunning at Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight
Viral ring girl Sydney Thomas could be back at ringside for the first time since the mega-Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson event last month on Friday for an event in Florida.
Thomas took to her Instagram story to promote a card under the banner of Most Valuable Promotions and airing on DAZN in Orlando.
The card is headlined by a super featherweight bout between Wanna Walton and Erik Hanley, although Thomas likely has a bigger social media following than any person trading punches inside the ropes.
It has been nearly a month after Thomas rose to fame by holding up the round cards during Jake Paul’s fight against Mike Tyson that drew 60million viewers, per Netflix.
The 21-year-old has taken the spotlight given to her as one of the five ring girls for the event at AT&T Stadium and maintained it consistently since November 15.
Should Thomas, who is from St. Louis, but attends the University of Alabama, be one of the ring girls for the MVP event, it would be a short flight to Orlando from her school.

On Instagram alone, Thomas now has over 800,000 followers, a drastic increase since her Paul-Tyson gig.
Thomas has nearly 17million likes on TikTok and over 1million followers on the platform.
Due to her fame, Thomas posted a ‘get to know me’ video last month to let her fans more into her life than just as a ring girl.
‘Contrary to popular opinion or popular belief, I’m actually smart,’ Thomas said. ‘People kind of get the image – pretty blonde, doesn’t have a brain. But I got a 33 on my ACT (test) in high school and I’m finishing college early, so take it as you want.’
In addition to her new-found success as a ring girl, Thomas is involved in modeling and has a job with her hometown St. Louis Cardinals as part of the team’s in-stadium hype crew.
In her free time, Thomas is primarily focused on herself.
‘I’m very athletic. I love health, wellness, fitness and anything that has to do with improving yourself physically, mentally and emotionally, I’m all in for,’ Thomas added. ‘I’m very driven with self-improvement and just becoming the best version of yourself.’
Four weeks after her skyrocketing popularity began, Thomas may be back doing what gained her mainstream fame.
