round

'a bit of a fight' is the definition.
(Rounds in a boxing match)

'a bit' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'bit' could be 'o' (resembles 0, a binary digit or bit) and 'o' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'rund' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for round that I've seen before include "Approximate" , "ring" , "regular shape" , "Like ball < in rough" , "Full" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail, the Evening Standard and the Sydney Morning Herald.
