Concerning a fight (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

about

'concerning' is the definition.
(about can mean concerning or relating to)

'a fight' is the wordplay.
'fight' becomes 'bout' (as in a bout in boxing).
'a'+'bout'='ABOUT'

(Other definitions for about that I've seen before include "On the topic of" , "in the offing?" , "round" , "Close to" , "Approximately, around" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The Irish News, The Guardian, The Sun and the Evening Standard.
