Boxing fans celebrate as viral ring girl Sydney Thomas reveals she is newly single after Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight
RING girl Sydney Thomas has revealed that she broke up with her boyfriend shortly before her rise to fame.
Sydney, who recently turned 21, became a viral hit while working on the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight last month.
She now has 775,000 Instagram followers, a figure that skyrocketed during her ring girl appearance on the Netflix card.
Speaking to Nick Nayersina, Sydney lifted the lid on her relationship status.
The viral star revealed: “I literally broke up with my boyfriend. I had no problems with him at all. Like, he was great.
Sydney was then quizzed over why she had decided to end things.
She explained: “This was right before summer. I ended the relationship because I felt the need to spend more time alone and discover who I truly am.
“I wanted to be alone and focus on myself, even if it was one of the hardest choices I’ve made.”
Despite the split not being easy, Sydney has no regrets.
She said: “As hard as it was to lose each other, I feel like it’s all God’s plan. It works out in the end. Look where we are now.
