ringsider
Close-up fight watcher
A ringsider is someone seated at ringside—the area immediately adjacent to a boxing ring, wrestling mat, or similar arena.
The term implies proximity to the action and, by extension, an insider's view: As a political ringsider, she had watched the party's internal battles up close.
