Fought for love and a kiss in bed (5)
I believe the answer is:
boxed
'fought' is the definition.
(boxing is a kind of fighting)
'love and a kiss in bed' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a kiss' becomes 'x' (X can represent a kiss).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'o'+'x'='ox'
'ox' placed into 'bed' is 'BOXED'.
'for' is the link.
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
