Forbids the low blows in fighting arena (8,5)
I believe the answer is:
bosworth field
'fighting arena' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'forbids the low blows' is the wordplay.
'blows' indicates an anagram.
'forbids'+'the'+'low'='forbidsthelow'
'forbidsthelow' is an anagram of 'BOSWORTH FIELD'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bosworth field that I've seen before include "Decisive Leicestershire battle of 1485" , "Site of battle" , "Site of Richard III's defeat and death in 1485" .)
