Boxer Jarrell Miller is going viral for his recent match in the ring—not because of the punches thrown but because the hair was thrown from his head.
You read that right. During his boxing match against Kingsley Ibeh on Jan. 31, Miller literally lost his hairpiece in one of the wildest boxing moments you’ll ever see.
The wild moment happened during the third round of their match as Miller took several punches to the face. As his cheeks and lips jiggled, his hair started to wobble, as well, revealing that he was wearing a toupee that ended up flapping up in the air.
Underneath the toupee was a clean, smooth, and very bald scalp.
At the end of the round, Miller ripped off the rest of the piece and tossed it to the crowd. He finished out the fight with the ring of torn hair around his head.
Though he lost his hair, Miller won the fight, taking a split decision, 94-96, 97-93, 97-93. Rapper Freddie Gibbs reacted to the freeing of Miller’s scalp, writing “Bald bitch” on X.
Meanwhile, World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaimán posted a picture holding the toupee as if it were a jersey. WBC interim female super-bantamweight champion Skye Nicolson even tried it on.
Following the fight, Miller laughed off his lost hair without any hard feelings.
"I get to my mama’s house and she had some shampoo bottles under her table,” he said. “And I shampooed. That shit was like ammonia and bleach. I only lost my hair like two days ago. So I called my manager, he was like, 'Let me slap that shit on real quick.'
"[Ibeh] knocked that shit off,” Miller continued. “But like I said before, it's funny, man. I'm a comedian."
Miller posted a video afterward showing him in good spirits, joking that his hair left the building.
“I can’t explain it, it is what it is,” he said.
