Leave a boxing match or circulate (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

go about

'circulate' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'leave a boxing match' is the wordplay.
'leave' becomes 'go'.
'boxing match' becomes 'bout' (I've seen this before).
'go'+'a'+'bout'='GO ABOUT'

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for go about that I've seen before include "Begin to deal with" , "Approach" , "turn at sea" , "(Of ship) change course" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
