I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'reveal' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'fight outside the ring' is the wordplay.
'fight' becomes 'bout' (as in a bout in boxing).
'outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters go outside others).
'bout' enclosing 'ring' is 'BRING OUT'.

'there's been a' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bring out that I've seen before include "Publish" , "Issue" , "Emphasise" , "Elicit" , "Emphasize (a feature)" .)
