One fights egg producer with rowing team (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bantamweight

'one fights' is the definition.
(bantamweight is a type of boxer)

'egg producer with rowing team' is the wordplay.
'egg producer' becomes 'bantam' (bantam is a type of chicken).
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'rowing team' becomes 'eight' (eight rowers).
'bantam'+'w'+'eight'='BANTAMWEIGHT'

(Other definitions for bantamweight that I've seen before include "fighter" , "Boxing category" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
