return bout
Another go-round
A return bout is a rematch—a second contest between the same opponents, especially in boxing.
The loser of the first fight typically earns the right to a return bout, particularly when a championship is at stake: The contract guaranteed him a return bout if he lost the title.
The term extends to any renewed confrontation or competitive encounter.
