Pugilist (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

boxer

'pugilist' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for boxer that I've seen before include "Pug - dog" , "Asian rebel" , "one that's accustomed to fighting" , "Prizefighter" , "Pugilist - dog" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Evening Standard, The Times, The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Independent and The Mirror.
