Local and national wrestling legend Anthony Robles will soon capture another title – Grand Marshal for Saturday’s Vrbo Fiesta Bowl Parade in Phoenix.

The honor comes at an exciting time for the former Mesa High School and Arizona State University star. A film recently premiered called “Unstoppable,” which is about how Robles – who was born with one leg – became a championship wrestler.

His 2-year-old son will celebrate his birthday and lead the parade with his father.

“We practice our waves together and honestly I think my son’s wave is better than mine. I think he’ll get more of a reaction than me with his cute little face,” Robles said. “But to be able to share this memory with my family is just an honor and a true blessing. I will never forget this moment.”

In a press release, Erik Moses, executive director and CEO of the Fiesta Sports Foundation, said: “Anthony Robles lived his life the way we all wish he could – with perseverance, humility, determination, honor and courage. His journey is an inspiration to us all and a testament to the indomitable human spirit.”

Robles joins a list of previous Fiesta Bowl Parade grand marshals that includes Charles Barkley, Alice Cooper and Diana Taurasi.

According to the Fiesta Sports Foundation, the Grand Marshals align with “the Fiesta Bowl’s commitment to improving the lives of Arizonans through support of youth, sports and education.”
