Sydney Thomas, the ring girl who gained fame during Jake Paul’s fight against Mike Tyson, has shared what the Problem Child communicated to her on that memorable night.
Her presence at the Netflix event quickly made her one of the evening’s most discussed figures, resulting in a massive surge in her Instagram followers—from below 300K to over 800K.
The University of Alabama student spoke with PEOPLE in a recent interview, revealing that she conversed with Paul during the occasion.
“I talked to him at the fight and he was just like, ‘Keep doing your thing,’” she recounted.
She further mentioned that Paul told her she was “doing a great job,” a sentiment that seems quite believable.
