Someone who boxes fresh curries (7)

I believe the answer is:

cruiser

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'someone who boxes' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'fresh curries' is the wordplay.
'fresh' is an anagram indicator (a fresh re-ordering of the letters).
'curries' with letters rearranged gives 'CRUISER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cruiser that I've seen before include "Warship - pleasure boat - boxing weight" , "Leisure yacht; warship" , "Speedy warship" , "Relatively fast warship" , "Ship" .)
