The Ring 6 fundamental event between Teofimo Lopez and Shakur Stevenson on Saturday night didn’t disappoint. Stevenson stays undefeated after dominating Lopez and capturing the junior welterweight title by unanimous decision. But Jarrell Miller stole the show in his undercard bout with Kingsley Ibeh earlier within the evening.
The all the time entertaining Miller left boxing fans stunned when his toupee became an impromptu souvenir for fans at Madison Square Garden. In Round 2, a vicious right from Ibeh knocked the toupee loose, revealing that Miller was clearly wearing a hairpiece, per Ariel Helwani. The 37-year-old heavyweight leaned into the moment, ripping off his toupee and tossing it into the group like some type of bald guy bouquet.
Heavyweight champ Fabio Wardley was the lucky(?) guest who grabbed Miller’s hair. And he placed it on an empty seat next to him ringside, giving the toupee a wonderful view of Miller’s split decision victory.

As strange because the mid-bout moment was, Miller’s post-fight interview was even wilder. The veteran boxer explained his ill-fated toupee foray by describing a really relatable situation that caused his unlucky bald spot.
“I get to my momma’s house and she or he had some shampoo bottles on the table. And I shampooed [my hair] however the sh-t was like ammonia bleach. I literally lost my hair two days ago,” Miller said, per DAZN Boxing.
Panicked by his sudden baldness, Miller says he called his manager who, apparently, convinced him to wear a toupee during an expert boxing match. Ultimately, “Ibeh knocked that shit off,” Miller acknowledged with amusing.
“I feel like straight away, I just wish to heal up, heal my face for somewhat bit. Possibly I can grow somewhat little bit of hair on top of my head, I don’t know,” Miller added. “You possibly can’t take life too serious sometimes, man. You’ve gotta keep rolling with the punches and rejoice.”
Miller improved to 27-1-2 together with his split decision win over Ibeh. His only profession loss got here via Daniel Dubois’ dominant TKO victory in December 2023. After Miller’s hair-rowing experience Saturday night, he vowed to “Get back within the gym and get back to work.”
