Stick with golf after pay back for boxer's poor behaviour? (7)
I believe the answer is:
yapping
'boxer's poor behaviour?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'stick with golf after pay back' is the wordplay.
'stick' becomes 'pin' (synonyms).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'golf' becomes 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'pay' in reverse letter order is 'yap'.
'pin'+'g' is 'ping'.
'ping' after 'yap' is 'YAPPING'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for yapping that I've seen before include "Barking like a small dog or chatting" , "Dog's noise" .)
