Brave woman loses in brawling (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lioness

'brave woman' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'loses in brawling' is the wordplay.
'brawling' is an anagram indicator.
'loses'+'in'='losesin'
'losesin' with letters rearranged gives 'LIONESS'.

(Other definitions for lioness that I've seen before include "Leo's mate" , "One with pride" , "Queen of beasts?" , "Female carnivore" , "Female pride member" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
