Description
A boxing ringis the space in which a boxing match occurs. A modern ring, which is set on a raised platform, is square with a post at each corner to which four parallel rows of ropes are attached with a turnbuckle. Unlike its cousin the wrestling ring, the ropes in a boxing ring are generally secured at the midway point.
As there are a number of professional boxing organizations, the standards of construction vary. A standard ring is between 16 and 25 feet to a side (4.88 to 7.32 meters) between the ropes with another 2 ft (0.61 m) outside. The platform the ring is on is generally 3 to 4 ft (0.91 to 1.22 m) from the ground with the posts rising around 5 feet.
The ring itself has around 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) of padding covered by stretched canvas. The ropes are around 1 inch in diameter and held up on posts rising around 5 feet at heights of 18, 30, 42, and 54 inches (.46, .76, 1.07, and 1.37 m).
