Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner has lost his appeal against an assault conviction dating from before his record-breaking freefall from the edge of space last month.
The 43-year-old daredevil was found guilty last April and fined €1,500 ($1,900 or £1,189) for hitting a Greek truck driver after an altercation near the Austrian city of Salzburg in September 2010.
His lawyer claimed it was self defence and launched an appeal, which was rejected by the Salzburg court.
The truck driver insisted Baumgartner had thrown the first punch.
"He apologised and was convicted in absentia with the consent of his attorney. The matter is now finished," a spokeswoman for the appellate court in Salzburg told reporters.
The skydiver became the first man to break the sound barrier unaided as he plummeted more than 24 miles towards the Earth in a freefall watched live by millions around the globe on October 14.
The jump above New Mexico was the highest and fastest freefall ever recorded.
