Fight Pole (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spar

I believe this is a double definition.

'fight' is the first definition.
(sparring is a kind of fighting)

'pole' is the second definition.
(spar is a kind of pole)

(Other definitions for spar that I've seen before include "Raps with large timber" , "Box; mineral; pole" , "Raps with large beam" , "Shadow box" , "supporting member" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
