Rising punch (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uppercut

(Other definitions for uppercut that I've seen before include "Blow from fist to chin" , "sock" , "Boxing punch delivered vertically" , "A vertical punch to chin delivered by boxer" , "Swinging blow from below aimed at an opponent's chin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
