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

'boxer?' is the definition.
(US boxer Mike Tyson)

'gypsy here and there entertained by 2240-pound' is the wordplay.
'here and there' means one should take alternating letters (here and then can mean regularly).
'entertained by' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are hosted or entertained).
'oo40-pound' becomes 'ton' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The alternate letters of 'gypsy' are 'ys'.
'ys' going inside 'ton' is 'TYSON'.

Can you help me to learn more?
