“Sold AT&T Stadium and killed Netflix with the legendary @miketyson,” she wrote. “You've only been in this sport for a few years and you put on the biggest event. People can say what they want, but people saw it and broke records. It’s bigger than the Super Bowl.”

“You continue to show me and the world that dreaming big and achieving it can work. I am so proud of you. It inspires you to think big, and if you work hard and believe in it, you can accomplish it.'' “

Lierdam is a Dutch speed skating star. She won a silver medal in the 1,000 meter race at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

She and Paul have been dating since April 2023 and revealed how they met in the Netflix documentary series Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson. She said Paul messaged her through social media but was initially not interested in the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

“When he first contacted me online, I was like, 'No, you're just some arrogant guy who thinks he can get whatever he wants. Well, I'm not.' he said. “I never, ever expected to date him. Of course, I didn't know much about him and scrolled through his Instagram like the whole world did. I couldn't help but form an opinion right away. But he's the perfect guy.'' “
