His party has to fight (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spar

'fight' is the definition.
(I know this)

'his party has' is the wordplay.
'has' indicates a hidden word.
'SPAR' can be found hidden inside 'his party'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for spar that I've seen before include "Rafter, boom" , "Translucent mineral" , "Box (lightly) - fight (verbally)" , "Act as boxer" , "microcrystalline mineral?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
