Profess to have a title (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

claim

This clue is a triple definition!

'profess' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'to have' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'a title' is the third definition.
('claim' can be a synonym of 'title')

(Other definitions for claim that I've seen before include "Put in for" , "Assert one's right to" , "Formal request" , "Call" , "Assertion of right" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
