Conversation at the boxing match? (8,4)
I believe the answer is:
fighting talk
'match?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'conversation at the boxing' is the wordplay.
'conversation' becomes 'talk' (talk is a kind of conversation).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'the boxing' becomes 'fighting' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'talk' put after 'fighting' is 'FIGHTING TALK'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fighting talk that I've seen before include "Spirited and challenging words" , "Bellicose words" , "Bellicose language" , "Empty challenge" .)
