Chairperson, possibly, con­fronting potential killer for entertainment (4-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lion-tamer


If this is the answer, I'm afraid I cannot explain it.

(Other definitions for lion-tamer that I've seen before include "Circus entertainer" , "Circus performer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
