I believe the answer is:

kabaddi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sport that's not breathtaking?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'on reflection i would spot content of fake' is the wordplay.
'on reflection' says the letters should be written backwards.
'i would' becomes 'I'd'.
'spot' becomes 'dab' (I've seen this in another clue).
'content of' says to take the centre.
The middle of 'fake' is 'ak'.
'id'+'dab'+'ak'='iddabak'
'iddabak' back-to-front is 'KABADDI'.
