“Irish” Micky Ward (the championship boxer portrayed by Mark Wahberg in The Fighter) got in a scuffle with a stray dog Wednesday and was injured.
TMZ reports that Ward was hospitalized for dog bites some time after the attack and is expected to remain there until Sunday.
Apparently, Ward was approached by an aggressive stray dog when walking his own dog.
As any loving pet owner would but probably shouldn’t, fighting champ or not, Micky got in between the dogs and got attacked instead.
He suffered bites on his arm and his right index finger was “almost taken off” by the attack. And as for Micky’s dog? He left the scene untouched.
Micky, you’re my hero!
