Between moving to Thailand, scoring 63 Muay Thai fights, being part of one of the most gripping documentaries of all time, being a celebrity on the other side of the world and re-acclimating himself to the U.S., Cody Moberly has lived a full life.
The Showtime documentary, Prison Fighters: Five Rounds to Freedom, documents a Thai inmate fighting for his freedom. Not metaphorically, after being convicted of murder, “Noy” Khaopan has one path to freedom: winning Muay Thai bouts.
The final step for Khaopan’s freedom was a fight with American transplant Cody Moberly.
“I went to my gym one day and my coach told me I was going to do a fight in a documentary about prison fights,” Moberly said.
