Model Sydney Thomas Says Celebrities & An SEC Coach Hit On Her After Viral Appearance As Ring Girl At Paul-Tyson Fight

Model Sydney Thomas stated that celebrities and Southeastern Conference (SEC) coaches slid into her DMs after she made a viral appearance at the Mike Tyson–Jake Paul boxing match in November 2024.

During an appearance on the Like a Farmer Podcast, Thomas refused to share the names of the biggest celebrities who contacted her after the fight.

“I don’t feel like exposing them,” she explained. “And I just know if I said the name that people would probably pick that up and put it on some news source and say this is the person reaching out.”

“Like, gosh, I don’t need any negative publicity right now,” the model said.

However, she revealed that the “craziest DM” she had received since the fight was from “another SEC football team coach.”

“They just DM’d me ‘Roll Tide,'” Thomas shared, alluding to the rallying cry for the Alabama Crimson Tide athletic teams. “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,” the model stated.

In early December 2024, Thomas revealed that breaking up with her boyfriend before the boxing match between Paul and Tyson had “paid off” in terms of eliminating distractions from her life.

Earlier this month, she surprised her fans by returning to wrestling while wearing an aqua-and-black mesh crop top and shorts.
