Sydney Thomas has revealed her next career move after shooting to fame.

The ring girl became a sensation after her glamorous appearance during Jake Paul’s fight with Mike Tyson at the AT&T Stadium.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer won the bout by a unanimous decision but the focus was drawn away from the action.

That was down to Sydney, who earned the praise of many of the fans watching.

Sydney subsequently gained a huge fanbase, now boasting more than 800,000 on Instagram.

The 21-year-old revealed that she would be back on ring girl duty in Orlando, Florida.

Sydney shared a post on X with a picture attached of herself in her ring girl outfit.

It was captioned: “Your favourite ring girl is back.

“Catch me in the ring again tomorrow on DAZN.”

And indeed she was on show during the bantamweight contest between Antonio Vargas and Winston Guerrero on Saturday (AEDT).

She posted an image of herself in the ring to her Instagram stories with the caption, “it’s fight night”.

It now takes his record to 19 wins with 11 knockouts and only one loss.

Fans were overjoyed with Sydney’s return to the ring as they reacted on social media.

Meanwhile, Sydney caused many of her new admirers to celebrate earlier this month.

This was down to her breaking up with her boyfriend shortly before becoming famous.

She also declared “I’m legal” on her 21st birthday in November.
