Big Baby Miller’s Toupee Mishap Steals Spotlight in MSG Victory
Hairpiece Incident Goes Viral as Miller Still Secures Win Over Kingsley Ibeh
Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller became an unexpected social media sensation on February 1, 2026, when his hairpiece was punched off during his fight against Kingsley Ibeh at Madison Square Garden.
The unusual moment unfolded in the second round, when a rapid series of punches from Ibeh caused Miller’s toupee to loosen and peel backward from his forehead, prompting shock and laughter throughout the arena and across online platforms.
As the hairpiece began to detach, Miller remained unfazed. With characteristic swagger, he tore it off completely and threw it into the crowd, much to the delight of fans in attendance. The clip of the incident quickly went viral, racking up views and sparking reactions from boxing fans and internet commentators alike.
Following the fight, Miller offered an explanation for his choice of hairpiece. He shared that a few days before the bout he had used a shampoo containing “ammonium bleach” at his mother’s house, which he claimed led to unexpected hair loss. With his natural hair affected, Miller said he opted for the toupee during the fight — an accessory that ended up generating far more attention than his opponent’s punches.
Despite the distracting turn of events, Miller remained focused on his performance in the ring. He ultimately secured the victory over Ibeh, proving that even an on-camera wardrobe malfunction couldn’t derail his competitive drive. The night at Madison Square Garden will be remembered just as much for its viral moment as for the win itself.
