NEW YORK — Jarrell Miller earned a split-decision victory over Kingsley Ibeh on Saturday night, but the scorecards quickly became secondary to a moment that hijacked the internet: Miller’s man weave getting knocked loose mid-fight.
The stunning and undeniably hilarious scene unfolded in the second round, when Ibeh’s upward shots dislodged Miller’s hairpiece. As the round wound down, the wig flopped atop Miller’s head. By the time he reached his corner, Miller realized it was hanging on by a thread, ripped it off, and flung it into the crowd.
Moments later, the runaway hair found a ringside perch next to an empty chair beside Fabio Wardley, drawing laughs and cameras.
