Throw away a fight (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scrap

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'throw away' is the first definition.
(scrapping is a kind of throwing away)

'a fight' is the second definition.
(a scrap is a minor fight)

(Other definitions for scrap that I've seen before include "Abolish; leftover" , "Drop" , "Small (leftover) piece" , "Abandon" , "Fragment or morsel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
