Hang up the gloves (6)
I believe the answer is:
retire
'hang up the gloves' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for retire that I've seen before include "Quit work, take pension" , "Withdraw from active participation" , "Give up the job and go to bed" , "Finish employment" , "call it a day" .)
