Jarrell Miller’s hairpiece dislodged during win against Kingsley Ibeh
Just when it seems everything has been witnessed, heavyweight contender Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller provided a fresh spectacle Saturday night with a memorable moment during his split decision victory over Kingsley Ibeh at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Miller had vowed to secure a knockout on the undercard of the Teofimo Lopez vs. Shakur Stevenson fight but instead produced a different type of highlight in Round 2 when a right uppercut from Ibeh literally dislodged the hairpiece from his head. Spectators were left astonished as Miller’s toupee was lifted off. Instead of retreating from the incident, Miller embraced it, removed the toupee before Round 3, and tossed it into the audience, where WBO heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley caught it.

Miller explained that he acquired a hairpiece after losing his hair two days prior, claiming he mistakenly used “ammonia bleach” instead of shampoo for washing his hair.
“I’m a comedian,” Miller stated in the post-fight interview. “You have to make fun of yourself.”
