Sydney Thomas has revealed the ‘big names’ in her DMs following her newfound fame after going viral during the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight.

Thomas, 20, was one of five ring girls working Paul vs. Tyson – along with Virginia Sanhouse, Lexi Williams, Delia Sylvain and Raphaela Milagres.

But it was her appearance at the AT&T Stadium that garnered the most attention as her social media following skyrocketed after Friday’s mega boxing event.

The model and social media star has since opened up on her DMs, revealing ‘big names’ have reached out in wake of her popularity.

“My DMs are just insanely flooded right now,” she told US Weekly. “There’s definitely been some pretty big names and brands that have reached out.

“I woke up and saw how my followers had gone up, and then saw all the news articles that had been written about me.

“I refreshed my feed and it was just pictures of me and memes and everything. I think that was the moment for me where I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, like I really am going viral’.”

She added: “It is very overwhelming. But at the same time, I’m also very blessed and very grateful. You know, what a problem to have.

“I knew the exposure was going to be awesome, just the fact that it was being streamed on Netflix and it was such an iconic fight. But I had no idea that all the focus was going to shift from the results to the ring girl being the main star of the event. That was not even a thought in my head going into it.”

Thomas intends to build her social media profile and hopes to continue to work with Paul’s promotional company Most Valuable Promotions for future events.

“I think what’s next for me is to continue building up my social media and continue working with Most Valuable Promotions and being a ring girl. I think dialing into the ring girl and modeling aspect of my life and sharing that with my audience that I’ve now built up,” she said.

“And then obviously continuing with school, graduating, getting my degree and then seeing where things take me from there.”
