Annoying large one, entering place for fight (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

riling

'annoying' is the definition.
('rile' can be a synonym of 'annoy')

'large one entering place for fight' is the wordplay.
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'entering' indicates putting letters inside.
'place for fight' becomes 'ring' (I've seen this before).
'l'+'i'='li'
'li' inserted within 'ring' is 'RILING'.

(Another definition for riling that I've seen is " Irritating, needling".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
