stump

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

'fox' is the definition.
(I know that stump is a kind of amaze)

'news ultimately putting pressure on corporation' is the wordplay.
'ultimately' indicates one should take the final letters.
'putting pressure' becomes 'p' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'corporation' becomes 'tum' ('corporation' is a humorous term for stomach fat).
The last letter of 'news' is 's'.
'p' after 'tum' is 'tump'.
's'+'tump'='STUMP'
