Call team watching boxing match? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ringside

'watching boxing match?' is the definition.

'call team' is the wordplay.
'call' becomes 'ring' ('ring' can be a synonym of 'call').
'team' becomes 'side' (I've seen this before).
'ring'+'side'='RINGSIDE'

(Other definitions for ringside that I've seen before include "Location of best seats at boxing match" , "area close to fight" , "where people come close to fighting" , "Where to get a good view of a boxing match" , "seating area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
