In a bizarre turn of events during a boxing match in New York, heavyweight Jarrell Miller's hairpiece came off during the fight against Kingsley Ibeh. The incident occurred in the second round when Miller took a flurry of shots, one of which knocked his head backward, causing the hairpiece to pop off. The crowd gasped as Miller's bald spot was revealed, prompting him to rip the toupee off and toss it into the crowd. Social media users snapped pictures with the hairpiece, adding to the spectacle. Miller attributed the mishap to a hair-washing blunder, explaining he'd used ammonia bleach instead of shampoo just two days before the fight. Despite the unexpected event, Miller emerged victorious via split decision, celebrating with a head rub and dance. This win marked his 22-1-2 career record, and the fight was his first since an August 2024 draw with Andy Ruiz Jr. Miller's previous bout was a December 2023 TKO loss to Daniel Dubois in Saudi Arabia. The match was part of the undercard for Teofimo Lopez's bout against Shakur Stevenson at Madison Square Garden, where Stevenson secured the WBO and The Ring junior welterweight titles via unanimous decision.
