Any fierce bats could be aggressive (2-3-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in-yer-face

'aggressive' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'any fierce bats' is the wordplay.
'bats' indicates an anagram (slang for mad).
'any'+'fierce'='anyfierce'
'anyfierce' is an anagram of 'IN-YER-FACE'.

'could be' is the link.

(Another definition for in-yer-face that I've seen is " Provocative".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
