JARRELL “Big Baby” Miller was involved in one of the more unusual moments in recent boxing history Saturday night when his hairpiece was dislodged during his heavyweight victory over Kingsley Ibeh on the undercard of the Teófimo López–Shakur Stevenson card at Madison Square Garden.

The incident occurred late in the second round as Ibeh landed a flurry of punches along the ropes. One shot snapped Miller’s head backward and caused his hairpiece to lift from the front, exposing his bald patch before the wig folded backward. The incident drew gasps and laughter from the crowd.
