Haircut in the Ring: DeAnda Prevails Amid Hair Drama

Austin DeAnda secured a win over DeAundre Pettus in Norfolk, Virginia, despite an unusual in-fight incident where he required an emergency haircut due to his braids coming undone. DeAnda made the on-the-spot decision to cut his hair, ultimately emerging victorious and improving his record to 16-0.

Amid an unusual in-ring incident at Scope Arena, Austin DeAnda triumphed over DeAundre Pettus in Norfolk, Virginia. The American boxer's braids came undone during the third round, obscuring his vision and prompting an emergency haircut between rounds.

The 21-year-old fighter, caught on broadcast asking for an 'even cut,' continued the match after the impromptu grooming session. He then clinched a unanimous victory, bringing his professional record to an impressive 16-0.

Reflecting on the unexpected mid-fight distraction, DeAnda took to Instagram saying, 'The incident with my hair was unexpected, but it's part of the unique challenges fighters face. My focus was on winning, and I'm grateful for the support from my team and fans.'
