Where you're near the ring for the subsequent fight (6,3)

I believe the answer is:

second row

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

'where you're near the ring for' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'subsequent fight' is the wordplay.
'subsequent' becomes 'second' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'fight' becomes 'row' (I've seen this in another clue).
'second'+'row'='SECOND ROW'

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for second row that I've seen before include "Rugby forwards" , "forward line" , "rugby players" .)
