Ring girl Sydney Thomas revealed what Jake Paul said to her in a private conversation.
Friday's professional heavyweight showdown between Paul and Joshua will feature a star-studded on-air talent team, including Kate Scott, Lennox Lewis and Ariel Helwani to name but a few.
Thomas is also set to be a part of the production team as one of the many ring girls.
She shot to fame after her appearance at last year's fight between Paul and Mike Tyson, with her social media following skyrocketing.

Even Paul has become a fan of the model
Well, that's according to Thomas, who revealed what 'The Problem Child' said to her after being on duty for Paul vs. Tyson.
"I talked to him at the fight and he was just like, 'Keep doing your thing'," she told People, adding that he told her she was 'doing a great job' in the ring.
Thomas, who broke up with her boyfriend last year, has been inundated with DMs on social media after becoming a viral sensation.
"There's everything, anything from blue check marks to random people," she revealed in an interview in December 2024, suggesting that most are 'people trying to ask me on a date'.
"But after breaking up with her boyfriend in summer, Thomas insisted she wasn't ready to delve back into world of dating just yet.
"I don't even care to read through any of that. I'm so happy with myself, and that's where all my time is going, so anyone reaching out who's wanting to be with me, it's just slipping right on by because I do not have any intention to involve myself with that."
