âThose girls made our day when Netflix messed upâ about their just found, released, and salivated over the backstage video, one might say that the real winners at the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight were the ring girls.
A video of Virginia Sanhouse, Sydney Thomas, Raphaela Milagres, Delia Sylvain, and Lexi Williams just surfaced on X. It shows the five-ring girls backstage spraying themselves with oil and overwise primping in their tight red and black bikinis. The ladies have become online sensations since the fight aired live on Netflix, the streaming service’s first-ever live sports event, last Friday.
As happens in our usual social media-fueled ânewsâ cycle, sometimes what is not the main attraction gets more posts/views/comments than what is. In this case, the ladies, who posed at Paul-Tyson weigh-ins (Sydney Thomas, a relative newcomer to this all compared to some of the other ladies stood smiling behind Paul and Tyson after Tyson slapped Paul at a weigh-in, garnering Thomas a sure bump in popularity above the rest of the women).
Detailing each lady:
Virginia Sanhouse, a 24-year-old Venezuelan-born model, might arguably be the most famous of the five. Enjoying over 5.5 million followers on TikTok and 2 million on Instagram, the e-commerce model owns Sanhouse Fit, which helps people reach their physical goals.
The blonde-haired, big smiling Sydney Thomas is newbie to the ring girl game. A well-known content creator in the Jake Paul mode, she also works as a bran ambassador for Fashion Nova.
Raphaela Milagres, coming from Brazil, began her career in earnest as a bike model. Competing at IBFF bikini competitions she became a pro model in earnest, finishing 8th as Ms. Olympia bikini in 2018. She already appeared as a ring girl at a Jake Paul last year.
Delia Sylvain is a well-known ring girl, as well as an OnlyFans model and Lexi Williams has made her living as a pro model and influencer for years. She won the 2024 Miami Swim Week. She also works for Fashion Nova.
Will we hear more from/about these ladies beyond some viral footage and reporting this week, who knows? But here they are now occupying our postsâŠand fans seem to love it.
