Born in Columbus, Georgia on April Fool's Day 1868 (some sources claim he was born on 1 April 1870 in New York City while other sources put his birthplace as Columbus, Ohio), the 5′10" Craig fought at a weight of between 153 and 169 lbs. as a middleweight and light-heavyweight during his career. Known as "The Harlem Coffee Cooler", Craig was known as a smart and quick fighter.[1] Colored ChampionshipCraig fought colored middleweight champ Joe Butler on 18 March 1893 in Philadelphia and was defeated in the second round. The two met again in a title match in Philadelphia on 20 February 1894 in Philadelphia, and this time, Craig emerged the victor, winning in the fourth round.[2] Craig never defended the title, which went vacant. He moved to London, England later that year, and began campaigning in Great Britain in October. He competed for the middleweight championship of England, losing to Dan Creedon on October 14, 1895 but winning the title by defeating George Chrisp 24 November 1898 via a K.O. in the 13th round. {{s-start}}{{s-ach}}{{succession box |before= Ed Binney | title= World Colored Middleweight Championship | years= November 13, 1892 - Unknown (Vacated title) | after= George Byers }}{{s-end}} References1. ^{{cite web|title=Frank Craig| url=http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/craig-f.htm |publisher=Cyber Boxing Zone|accessdate=10 November 2013}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Craig, Frank}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Joe Butler|url=http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=11624&cat=boxer|publisher=BoxRec|accessdate=29 May 2012}} 8 : African-American boxers|Middleweight boxers|Light-heavyweight boxers|World colored middleweight boxing champions|1868 births|1943 deaths|American male boxers|Boxers from Ohio |
