The WBC refers to Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias at His Historic Hollywood Walk of Fame Induction

In an afternoon filled with laughter, mariachi, and Latino pride, iconic comedian Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias was honored with the 2,838th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The event, which celebrated the artist’s decades-long career of uniting cultures through humor, featured a special presence from the world of sports.

The World Boxing Council, an organization that has always walked hand-in-hand with the most influential figures in popular culture, was present at this significant ceremony. José Antonio Arreola Sulaimán, representing the organization and its president Mauricio Sulaimán, recognized Iglesias’ achievements and greatness by presenting him with a replica of the emblematic Green and Gold Belt.

“Gabriel is a true champion who, much like the great boxers, has fought from the bottom with discipline and passion to conquer the world. This belt symbolizes our admiration for his career and his ability to brighten the lives of millions,” the WBC representative noted during the gathering.

Iglesias, born in San Diego and raised in Long Beach, has made history not only on stage—becoming the first comedian to sell out Dodger Stadium—but also through his constant support for the Latino community. With this recognition, the WBC reaffirms its commitment to celebrating those who, like “Fluffy,” embody the spirit of perseverance and excellence of the Green and Gold belt.
