Boxing Ring
The raised square platform where fighters meet/Sports
A professional boxing ring is actually a square, not a ring, with inside rope dimensions of 4.9-6.1 m (16-20 feet) per side. The raised platform is typically 0.91-1.22 m above the floor, with four corner posts and three or four rows of ropes. The ring floor is padded with about 2.5 cm of felt or rubber beneath a canvas surface. The term 'ring' dates back to early bare-knuckle boxing when spectators formed a circle around the fighters. Modern professional title fights typically use a 6.1 m (20-foot) ring.
