A strange moment occurred Saturday night at a boxing match between heavyweights Jarrell Miller and Kingsley Ibeh in New York.
Ibeh and Miller fought hard in the second round of their fight. Ibeh fired a volley of shots that caused the crowd to die. One of the blows threw Miller’s head back and his hairpiece jumped up from the front. It revealed a bald spot that covered most of his head.

Miller ripped the toupee off his head and threw it into the crowd. Some boxing fans were seen on social media taking pictures with the hairpiece.
The boxer revealed he put on the hairpiece two days before the fight after accidentally washing his hair with “ammonia bleach” instead of shampoo.
