Jarrell Miller has become one of the most popular boxers in the world after Kingsley Ibeh ripped his toupee off with an uppercut.
I felt a cold breeze on my scalp and I said to myself, ‘I know I don’t have air conditioning up there
The viral image of Miller with the toupee hanging off, which also took place in a mythical arena such as Madison Square Garden, went around the world.
“If it falls off during the fight, I’m going to laugh. And it fell off in the fight. If you can’t laugh at yourself, brother, that’s what it is. I used to have ugly hair, I hope it grows back, but it’s cool and at least now it’s going to go viral on the internet,” he said after the fight.

I ask God to give me confidence, strength and courage to keep going. I don’t give up
Jarrell Miller won the fight against Kingsley Ibeh and at the end of the fight, after seeing the images on the video scoreboard, he realized the significance of losing his toupee (a wig that covers only the top of the head)
The 37-year-old boxer acknowledges that the loss of the toupee was a turning point in the fight and that it gave him more energy to defeat Ibeh.
Jarrell Miller, who shared that he lost his hair after using a hair product, admitted that he has received advertising offers after his wig incident: “Many hair implant companies from Turkey contacted me. My direct messages are crazy. I haven’t even checked a quarter of them.”
“I ask God to give me confidence, strength and courage to keep going. I have two young children: one is 15 years old, another is four and a daughter is one year old, so I must be here for them and show them that my dad made some mistakes, but I do not give up,” he shared.
