Jack turned out and fought for a lady's favour (7)

I believe the answer is:

jousted

'fought for a lady's favour' is the definition.
(as in medieval jousting)

'jack turned out' is the wordplay.
'jack' becomes 'j' (playing card abbreviation).
'turned out' becomes 'ousted' (to oust is to remove or turn out).
'j'+'ousted'='JOUSTED'

'and' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
