Jarrell 'Big Baby' Miller Turns Viral Toupee Gaffe Into Business After MSG Win

Hair-replacement companies are courting him following his widely shared interviews.

Overview

  • Miller told Jimmy Kimmel he damaged his hair by overusing the semi-permanent dye Bigen and relied on a toupee fitted by his cousin’s barber who promised “double reinforcement.”
  • During Round 2 against Kingsley Ibeh at Madison Square Garden, the piece came loose, and Miller removed it before Round 3 and tossed it into the crowd, where WBO champion Fabio Wardley safeguarded it.
  • He won the bout by split decision, keeping his focus despite the interruption and turning the moment into a cultural talking point.
  • He said his DMs are flooded with offers from hair companies, including man-weaving firms and brands based in Turkey, after the clip went viral.
  • Miller joked that he blames the barber and his cousin, said ripping the piece off energized him, and added he now plans to try growing his hair naturally.
