Crossword Genius

Fought to be tossed out (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scrapped

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'fought' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tossed out' is the second definition.
(scrapping is a kind of tossing out)

'to be' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for scrapped that I've seen before include "Abandoned - had a fight" , "did battle" , "Cancelled; fought" , "Junked or discarded" , "abandoned in a heap?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
