Live one circulating boxing clubs? Fury (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

violence

'fury' is the definition.
('violence' can be a synonym of 'fury')

'live one circulating boxing clubs?' is the wordplay.
'circulating' indicates an anagram.
'boxing' indicates putting letters inside ('box' can mean contain, as in to put in a box).
'clubs?' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used in card games such as bridge).
'live'+'one'='liveone'
'liveone' anagrammed gives 'violene'.
'violene' placed around 'c' is 'VIOLENCE'.

(Other definitions for violence that I've seen before include "Acts of aggression" , "Once evil (anag)" , "Act of aggression, physical force" , "Harmful physical force" , "Force, power" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
