Ring girl speaks out after gaining widespread attention at Jake Paul and Mike Tyson's boxing match.

Sydney Thomas, the ring girl who became a sensation after going viral at the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight, has been reflecting on her newfound fame. The 20-year-old model and social media star, who is also a student at the University of Alabama, admits that the attention she has received has been overwhelming.

At the event in Texas, where she was one of five ring girls, Thomas caught the eye of many boxing fans who declared her the "real winner" after a disappointing fight between Paul and Tyson. The bout was met with boos and allegations of being fixed, but Thomas' presence in the ring stole the show.

Since then, Thomas has been flooded with messages and offers from big names and brands. She shared with US Weekly, "My DMs are just insanely flooded right now. There's definitely been some pretty big names and brands that have reached out." She woke up to a surge in followers and numerous news articles written about her, which made her realize the extent of her viral fame. "I think that was the moment for me where I was like, 'Oh my gosh, like I really am going viral,'" she said.

Despite the overwhelming attention, Thomas is grateful for the opportunity and intends to continue balancing her education with her role as a ring girl for Most Valuable Promotions, Paul's company. "It is very overwhelming, but at the same time, I'm also very blessed and very grateful. You know, what a problem to have," she shared.

When asked about her future plans, Thomas mentioned her desire to continue building her social media following and working with Most Valuable Promotions. She also wants to focus on her modeling career and share that aspect of her life with her now-large audience. And while she is working towards her degree, she is open to whatever opportunities may come her way. "And then obviously continuing with school, graduating, getting my degree and then seeing where things take me from there," she said.
