Fighter in ring turning to drama (7)

I believe the answer is:

matador

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fighter in ring' is the definition.
'matador' can be an answer for 'fighter' (matador is a kind of fighter). I am not certain of the 'in ring' bit.

'turning to drama' is the wordplay.
'turning' indicates an anagram.
'to'+'drama'='todrama'
'todrama' is an anagram of 'MATADOR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for matador that I've seen before include "The one who kills the bull" , "Ring butcher" , "Spaniard that fights" , "fighter in the ring?" , "he aims to get a bull" .)
