I believe the answer is:

purse

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

'for the prizefighter it' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'may be super' is the wordplay.
'may be' indicates an anagram.
'super' is an anagram of 'PURSE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for purse that I've seen before include "winnings" , "Prize funds" , "Super (anag.)" , "Woman's wallet" , "Pocket" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
