Craig Wilson looks like your average international corporate attorney who happens to live and work abroad in Bangkok, Thailand. He was born in Washington, D.C. and was educated at the finest schools. But Craig is no ordinary balding, pasty, 45 year old, he is an avid amateur boxer who steps into the ring at any opportunity and usually does so against opponents half his age. 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.
