Sydney Thomas not only captured attention during the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight last November; she emerged as one of the standout figures of the event. The ring girl and social media influencer centralized the spotlight at a Netflix-streamed spectacle that attracted over 100 million viewers. Since that unforgettable night, she has blossomed into one of the most buzzed-about rising stars in the sports entertainment arena.
Prior to her viral ascent, Thomas had already garnered a respectable online following. However, the exposure from fight night catapulted her into a realm of newfound fame. Since then, she has embarked on a media whirlwind, sharing insights into her life and ambitions beyond the boxing ring. Fans are particularly curious about her romantic interests.
What Sydney Thomas Really Wants In A Partner
In a recent conversation with the Elevate Network, Thomas tackled a question that’s likely on many minds: Is she open to dating athletes? Her candid response cut through the surface-level glamour.
“I don’t think I have a type,” Thomas conveyed. “I like guys with a big heart. That’s the first thing I look for — a heart and a brain. Obviously, I’d love a nice boy who’s athletic and tall. Deep down though, if you have a big brain and a big heart, I will love you.”

While Thomas remains receptive to the idea of dating athletes, her priorities lie in emotional intelligence and compassion over professional titles. This response reveals a grounded perspective, even as her popularity continues to soar.
Earlier this year, Thomas shared with PEOPLE that she ended a previous relationship to focus on her own growth. “I had no problems with him at all. He was great,” she explained. “I just broke up with him because I was like, ‘I just need and want more time with myself.’”
Since her rise to fame, Thomas has made appearances at significant sporting events like games for the Atlanta Hawks and the Las Vegas Raiders. She has also expressed her ambition to become a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model. “There have been a lot of conversations around that,” she disclosed. “I would love to do it. Hopefully, that can be a thing.”
As she focuses on her aspirations, Sydney Thomas remains open to the possibility of love, as long as it aligns with her values and aspirations.
