Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller gave boxing fans one of the most unforgettable moments of the year on Saturday night — and it had nothing to do with a knockout.
Miller scored a split-decision win over Kingsley Ibeh at Madison Square Garden, but the bout instantly went viral in the second round after Ibeh connected with a right uppercut that sent Miller’s toupee flying off his head.
The crowd erupted in disbelief as the hairpiece popped loose and landed on the canvas. Instead of scrambling to hide it, Miller leaned fully into the chaos.

Before Round 3 even began, Miller reached up, ripped off what was left of the toupee, and casually tossed it into the stands. The moment got even funnier when the souvenir was snagged by heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley, who appeared just as amused as the crowd.
Despite the bizarre interruption, Miller stayed locked in and finished the fight, earning the decision victory and walking away with both the win and an internet-breaking highlight.
After the fight, Miller explained the unusual situation, revealing that the hairpiece was a very recent addition. He said he lost his hair just days earlier after accidentally washing it with ammonia bleach instead of shampoo.
“I’m a comedian,” Miller said afterward. “You have to make fun of yourself.”
Needed better glue. Ha Ha Ha.
