This might be a double definition.

'supports' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.

'fights' is the second definition.
(sparring is a kind of fighting)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for spars that I've seen before include "Boxes" , "disputes" .)
