'it's not big to' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'ton in championship' is the wordplay.
'ton' becomes 't'.

't' going inside 'title' is 'TITTLE'.

'get' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tittle that I've seen before include "A tiny bit" , "Companion to jot" , "Smallest part (after a jot?)" , "A printed dot as in i" , "Tiny printed mark" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
