Jarrell 'Big Baby' Miller Loses His Hair When Toupee Flies Off on Video
Fighter Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller had an embarrassing moment during the January 31 undercard with Kingsley Ibeh in New York, when he lost his hair.
Miller's toupee flew off his head during the fight, and the moment was captured in a viral video. He then threw the hairpiece into the crowd, according to another video that went viral on X.
"I've never see this before but the fighter is getting the hair knocked off his head," the announcer said in the video, which showed Ibeh pummeling Miller and then Miller's toupee standing straight up after being knocked partially off his scalp.
According to ESPN, the heavyweight Miller had promised he would knock out Ibeh, but instead Ibeh knocked off his hair. Still, Miller went on to deliver a split decision, so the night ended on a better note, ESPN reported.

"Wow. That is going to make the rounds on social media," the announcer said, and it did.
The video shows that Miller kept fighting with his hairiece ajar. "It's like a cartoon," the announcer joked, as Miller kept taking punches and his toupee bobbed on his head.
"Oh, my goodness gracious," the announcer continued. Eventually, Miller ripped the dangling toupee completely off his scalp. He didn't seem too upset about it, though. He put both hands in the hair and had a big smile on his face, although you could still see the ring on his head from where the toupee used to be.

"Noooo Jarrell Miller just got the hair piece knocked off his head," a page wrote, sharing the video on X, where it racked up almost half a million views.
Miller explained after the fight that the toupee was new, and he got it only two days before the fight because he accidentally washed his hair with "ammonia bleach" instead of shampoo, ESPN reported.
"I'm a comedian," Miller said during the postfight interview, according to ESPN. "You have to make fun of yourself."

Fans had a lot of fun on social media at Miller's expense. Another video clip appeared to show the hairpiece sitting on a chair outside the ring.
One person shared a meme and wrote, "Hair glue companies blowing up his phone right now." Other fans were confused why Miller had opted for the toupee in the first place. "I don't know why a man would wear a wig, you can just be bald and it's not bad at all," that person wrote.
"No recovery from this. Poor guy," wrote a fan. "Can't say I've ever seen that before," another fan mused.
Other people admired how Miller handled the moment. "His insecurity has been erased. That's sharp thinking right there," a person wrote on X. "Most people would have been drowned in shame, but he quickly shook it off and wore his baldness like a crown. For me, he's the ultimate winner of the fight as not many eventually defeat their insecurities in life."
