How do an athlete train?
The name ring is an atavism from when contests were fought in a roughly drawn circle on the ground, the name ring continued with the Jack Broughton rules (1743) specifying a small circle in the centre of the fight area where the boxers met at the start of each round. The first square ring was introduced by the Pugilistic Society in 1838, the ring was specified as 24 feet square and bound by two ropes.

Yes, it used to be an actual circle, but when they started putting up ropes around it, they had to make it a square but kept calling it a ring.
