![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
'practice boxing' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for spar that I've seen before include "Box; various minerals" , "What boxers do" , "Sticks" , "bar" , "Box for practice" .)
