Maybe lets us fight (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tussle

'fight' is the definition.
(tussling is a kind of fighting)

'maybe lets us' is the wordplay.
'maybe' indicates an anagram.
'lets'+'us'='letsus'
'letsus' anagrammed gives 'TUSSLE'.

(Other definitions for tussle that I've seen before include "Fight vigorously" , "Skirmish" , "Verbal or physical struggle or fight" , "Wrestle, scuffle" , "Struggle or wrestling match" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
