JARRELL MILLER won a fight but lost his wig.
The 37-year-old American was just two rounds into his heavyweight clash with Kinglsey Ibeh, when his fake afro was whacked off of his scalp.
Miller ripped it off before the third round started, throwing it into the Madison Square Garden crowd, where a female fan found the mound of hair and popped it on her head.
But then he recovered enough to nick a lucky split decision, after Ibeh struggled for energy and got sucked into a shootout, when he would have won a boxing bout.
Incredibly Miller blamed the ridiculous scene on using some dodgy soap around his mum’s house.
After getting his hand raised, he giggled “I went to my momma’s house a couple of days ago and accidentally used an ammonia shampoo and it made my hair fall out.
“You have to make fun of yourself.
“You can’t take life too seriously, you just have to get back in the gym and get back to work.”
The three ringside judges called it 96-94 to Ibeh, 97-93 to Miller and 97-93 to the newly bald blagger who has had comeuppance on his way for a long time.
The obese drug cheat blew a mega-money 2015 Anthony Joshua clash when a laboratory of chemicals were found on his system.
Daniel Dubois thankfully did give him a 2023 pasting in Saudi Arabia.
But the 37-year-old trash talker weaseled his way into a Portman Road clash with Fabio Wardley last summer. Only to mysteriously pull out of the clash and give little tangible explanation.

Miller and his suspect shape and engine struggled with Ibeh’s southpaw stance and honest work ethic,
And, just as the second round finished, fans spotted Miller’s hair doing cartwheels atop his dome.
Miller ripped it off just before the third began and raced back out into the action.
But he somehow reclaimed his cool and dragged Ibeh into a slugfest that he grabbed on two questionable cards.
