The Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano fight aired on Netflix. Marissa Ayers seemed over the moon to be featured in such a high-profile, historic sporting event.
“I was just on Netflix,” she said in a video posted Saturday. “I still can’t believe that… Part of history for women’s boxing. It was so cool. The vibes, the energy, it was so loud. It was so much fun.”

Ayers is not the first ring girl from the University of Alabama to go viral. She’s following in the footsteps of Sydney Thomas.
Thomas gained online popularity due to her presence at the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson match. She’s since made headlines with her appearance in music videos, at sporting events, and at major entertainment outings.
She graduated early from Alabama this past May and is now making a living as a model and influencer. Thomas’s social media following grew by 500,000 overnight following her viral moment. Marissa Ayers could see a similar boost.
