Lowell, Mass. -- A judge cleared New England boxer "Irish" Micky Ward of an assault and battery charge in a 2008 fight with his father-in-law.

The Lowell (Mass.) Sun said Wednesday that District Court Judge James McGuiness made the ruling after the defense argued the 43-year-old Ward was acting in self defense when he broke 53-year-old Kevin Nolette's nose amid a shouting match at Nolette's home.

"What is clear is that Micky Ward does his fighting in the ring," lawyer Robert Normandin declared after Tuesday's ruling.

The Sun said Ward is not totally out of the woods. Nolette has a civil lawsuit pending.
