Hi, I'm very pleased to have found this forum.
After years of ingoring them, I'm trying to get into cryptics and I'm starting with the Best For Puzzles one on the net.
I'm slowly improving and now I get most of the clues, and I once I se the answers I can usually work out the reasons for them. However on the latest one I've done there is an answer I don't understand.

2D 'Foreign heavyweight who often won on points'. Answer: ALIEN. 'Foreign' is the definition, but I can't see the rest.

All help would be appreciated.

Brian

Welcome Brian

The heavyweight is (Muhammed) ALI (who often won), with E and N being compass points
