Jarrell Miller had his wig knocked off during Saturday’s Super Showdown between Teofimo Lopez and Shakur Stevenson.
Miller was fighting Kingsley Ibeh, who knocked out Big Baby’s wig in the second round, causing it to peel off the front and fall all the way back – barely clinging to the back of Miller’s head.

The bizarre moment late in the round prompted a shocked reaction from the Madison Square Garden crowd in New York City, with Miller seizing on the oddity, ripping off his wig and throwing it into the stands.
He did so before the third round, sticking out his tongue, laughing it off, and continued boxing with a ring of hair left on top of his head.
Miller, 37, is one of the most controversial heavyweights in boxing, with many best remembering him for his canceled fight with Anthony Joshua in 2019.
Miller was withdrawn from the game after failing a pre-fight drug test, and it wasn’t the only failed drug test in his career. The American previously failed a drug test in 2014 during his kickboxing career and later failed a drug test as a boxer in 2020.

After losing his fight with Joshua, the latter fought Andy Ruiz Jr. on short notice and suffered the first defeat of his career.
The shocking upset came via TKO and took place at Madison Square Garden, where Miller’s wig fiasco unfolded on Saturday.
