Call team close to where couple fight (8)
I believe the answer is:
ringside
'close to where couple fight' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'call team' is the wordplay.
'call' becomes 'ring' (telephone call).
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'ring'+'side'='RINGSIDE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ringside that I've seen before include "Location of best seats at boxing contest" , "location near fighting" , "The best seat at a boxing match is here" , "Where to get a good view of a boxing match" , "area close to sporting action" .)
