Crossword Genius

Back boxer's assistant (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

second

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'back' is the first definition.
('second' can be a synonym of 'back')

'boxer's assistant' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for second that I've seen before include "Attendant in a duel or boxing match" , "honours degree" , "Short period of time" , "Extra" , "taking silver back" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
