He has fought all over Thailand: in small villages, on Thai army bases, and in the city of Bangkok. He emerges the winner more often than not. Portsmouth resident John Sullivan has chronicled Craig's life in an award-winning documentary called Farang Ba, which means "crazy white foreigner" in Thai.
