Ring girl Sydney Thomas delighted fans as she worked on Mike Tyson’s bout with Jake Paul on Friday night.
Jake Paul might’ve won the final bout, but Thomas certainly came out as the real winner on that night.
The 20-year-old was one of five ring girls deployed for the event in Arlington, Texas.
What made her stock go even further up was the fact that Paul’s unanimous decision victory over Tyson failed to capture the imaginations of many of the fans tuned in worldwide.
It made fans pay more attention to Sydney Thomas, making her follower count on various sites explode.
Fast forward days later and now Thomas is being put in a made-up scenario where she is going head-to-head against actress Sydney Sweeney.
The two women were billed as the main card.
Judging by the comments, fans were easily taking Sydney Sweeney over Sydney Thomas, as some mentioned the fact that the actress is all-natural.
