Jarrell Miller’s Hairpiece Flies in One of Boxing’s Most Unforgettable Moments

In a heavyweight bout that will be replayed for years, Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller delivered more than just punches on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden — he gave fight fans one of the wildest viral moments in recent memory.

In the second round of his clash with Kingsley Ibeh, Miller absorbed a powerful uppercut that didn’t just snap his head back — it snapped his toupee clean off. The hairpiece shot skyward, leaving spectators stunned and the internet ignited with reactions.

Instead of letting the mishap derail him, the 37-year-old took it in stride. Between rounds, Miller peeled the now-detached hairpiece off completely and flung it into the crowd, turning an awkward moment into a bit of showmanship that had fans roaring.

Miller later explained with a laugh that his natural hair had fallen out days earlier after mistakenly using a harsh shampoo at his mother’s house — forcing a last-minute toupee fix before the fight. True to form, he called himself “a comedian” and shrugged off the bizarre twist with good humor in his post-fight interview.

But the bout wasn’t just a sideshow — Miller fought through the embarrassment and earned a split-decision victory over Ibeh, with judges scoring the contest 97-93 twice in his favor and 96-94 to his opponent.

The result keeps Miller’s heavyweight campaign moving forward — but even more than the win, it was the airborne hairpiece that will stick in boxing lore.
