A '''boxing ring''', often referred to simply as a '''ring''' or the '''squared circle''', is the space in which a [[boxing]] match occurs. A modern ring consists of a square raised platform with a post at each corner. Four ropes are attached to the posts and pulled parallel under tension with [[turnbuckle]]s to form the boundary of the competition area. It also traditionally features a red corner for the higher ranked, more experienced, crowds favorite or home boxer and a blue corner for the lower ranked, less experienced or guest boxer.
