Crossword Genius

Box with a pole (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spar

I believe this is a double definition.

'box' is the first definition.
(spar can mean to box)

'pole' is the second definition.
(I know that spar is a type of pole)

'with a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for spar that I've seen before include "Mineral; plane's wing beam" , "Fight (in training) - pole (on boat)" , "dispute" , "Raps with wooden beam" , "Stout pole to support rigging" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
