Businessman John Henry has completed his purchase of The Boston Globe, according to a Boston.com story posted Thursday.

Henry’s purchase includes the Globe, Boston.com, BostonGlobe.com, Worcester Telegram & Gazette and the Telegram’s website.

The sale had been delayed by a labor dispute, but a Worcester Superior Court judge cleared the way for the deal to go through, according to Boston.com.

Henry is owner of several sports organizations, including the Red Sox and New England Sports Network. The acquisition ends the 20-year ownership of The Boston Globe by The New York Times Co.
