First ring girl for Jake Paul-Mike Tyson. Next sign with CAA. Now autographed trading cards?
It's been quite the rise for Alabama senior Sydney Thomas, who has 787,000 followers on Instagram and 1 million on TikTok.
Thomas went viral standing behind the ring announcer during the fight, which was shown on Netflix live on Nov. 15. She was hired by Most Valuable Promotions, which was co-founded by Paul himself.
Earlier this week, Thomas announced she had signed with Hollywood agency CAA as she gears up for more modeling. On Thursday came the trading cards.
"We couldn't be more excited to partner with the up-and-coming star Sydney Thomas," Leaf president Josh Pankow told cllct. "There isn't a bigger personality in the entertainment world right now and we're proud to offer her first ever certified autographed card."
Leaf, which makes a living out of jumping into the pop culture spotlight, signed her to sign an unspecified amount of cards. The cards, which will be numbered, are selling for $74.99 on Leaf's website. Earlier this year, Leaf signed Haliey Welch, the Hawk Tuah girl, to autograph trading cards.
