Boxer Jarrell Miller had his toupee punched off during a fight against Kingsley Ibeh at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night.
The incident occurred in the second round of the bout, which was on the undercard of the Teofimo Lopez and Shakur Stevenson super-fight.
Miller reacted by tearing off the hairpiece, throwing it into the crowd, and laughing off the moment before continuing to box.
The US heavyweight fighter, known as “Big Baby”, is a controversial figure in boxing due to multiple past drug test failures.
His previous drug test failures include one that led to the cancellation of his highly anticipated fight against Anthony Joshua in 2019.
