Heavyweight boxer Jarrell Miller has lost his hair in a professional fight in New York. His opponent Kingsley Ibeh landed several punches in the second round - and in one of them his toupee partially came off his head.

Miller finished the round, then ripped the hairpiece off his head in his corner during the round break and threw it into the audience. The 37-year-old ended up winning the fight on points - and then rubbed his head while doing a happy dance.

"I'm a comedian," said Miller after the fight. "You have to be able to laugh at yourself." In his in-ring interview, he said he had lost his hair just a few days earlier - after using a shampoo bottle containing ammonia bleach at his mother's house.
