"Just when you think you have seen it all, heavyweight contender Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller delivered something new Saturday night with a viral moment during his split decision win over Kingsley Ibeh at New York's Madison Square Garden. Miller had promised a knockout on the Teofimo Lopez vs. Shakur Stevenson undercard but delivered a different kind of highlight in Round 2 when a right uppercut from Ibeh literally knocked the hair off his head. Fans were left slack-jawed as Miller's toupee lifted off the top of his head."
"Rather than shy away from the moment, Miller embraced it and tore the toupee off before the start of Round 3 and flung it into the crowd, where WBO heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley collected it. Miller said that he got a hairpiece after he lost his hair two days ago, when he alleged that he mistakenly used "ammonia bleach" instead of shampoo to wash his hair."
""I'm a comedian," Miller said during the postfight interview. "You have to make fun of yourself.""
Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller won a split decision over Kingsley Ibeh at Madison Square Garden after a viral Round 2 moment when a right uppercut knocked his toupee off. Miller had promised a knockout but instead removed the hairpiece himself before Round 3 and flung it into the crowd, where WBO heavyweight Fabio Wardley collected it. Miller said he had obtained the hairpiece after losing his hair two days earlier, alleging he mistakenly used "ammonia bleach" instead of shampoo. He called himself a comedian and said one must make fun of oneself. Miller improved to 27-1-2 after returning from an August 2024 draw with Andy Ruiz.
