"Shampoo's fault" and victory After the fight, which he won by a split decision, Miller explained the bizarre reason for his look. During a heavyweight bout, American boxer Jarrell Miller's wig shifted after being hit by his opponent, Kingsley Ibeh, revealing a large bald patch to the astonishment of the thousands of spectators present. As learned by the Argentine News Agency, the incident occurred in the second round. A burst from Ibeh struck Miller's head, lifting the wig from his forehead. True to his style, he celebrated the victory by dancing and rubbing his bald head.
Shakur Stevenson made history The evening concluded in style with the coronation of Shakur Stevenson, who won by unanimous decision (119-109 on all three cards) against his compatriot Teófimo López. With this victory, Stevenson snatched the WBO super lightweight title and joined the exclusive club of champions in four different divisions, alongside legends like Floyd Mayweather Jr. and "Canelo" Álvarez. The NA Agency assured that he had lost his hair days before the fight due to using a shampoo he found at his mother's house, which forced him to improvise with the wig. New York, February 1 (NA) -- A scene as surreal as it was hilarious stole the show at the iconic Madison Square Garden arena.
