Answer
Hi Joe,

Now that's a man with a boxing ring dream!  To be honest, I don't know what the cheapest way is, for I have never built one. Actually, I have never been involving in putting one up either, but here are some links to some plans for them.

I know it isn't much but that is all I can locate. I fear building a decent quality ring is not going to be cheap.   Remember, someones life may lie on the ropes, so you want the best quality possible.

good luck in your construction.
