Where you're near the ring for the subsequent fight (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
second row
'where you're near the ring for' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'subsequent fight' is the wordplay.
'subsequent' becomes 'second' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'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" .)
