Jarrell Miller Wins Split Decision After Toupee Comes Off Mid-Fight at MSG

He attributes the episode to sudden hair loss from an ammonium-bleach mix two days earlier, saying he improvised with a toupee.

Overview

  • The hairpiece began to peel away during round two against Kingsley Ibeh, and Miller removed it in the corner before tossing it into the crowd.
  • Miller told IFL TV he accidentally used ammonium bleach at his mother's house, lost his hair two days before the bout, and opted for a last-minute toupee.
  • Video of the moment circulated widely online, drawing shocked and amused reactions from viewers.
  • Ibeh told Sky Sports the incident shocked him and affected his focus, and he said he disagreed with the split-decision scoring.
  • The heavyweight bout was on the Teofimo LopezShakur Stevenson undercard at Madison Square Garden, and coverage noted Miller’s 2019 Joshua fight was canceled after a failed drug test.
