Question
Hi,

My name is Santiago, I'm going to be 15 in a month, and would like to know a simple way of building a boxing ring.

I learned boxing from a friend who's brother taught him and then went to a boxing gym for a few weeks.

My Birthday is coming and my friends said they would box me but the ground on my house is uneven and there isn't any room inside.

Could you tell me or give me a list of the items I'll need and instructions on how to build a boxing ring?

It's going to be part of an entertainment for my friends.

Thank you very much.  

Answer
Hi Santiago,

Here is the only links to information I could find on building a boxing ring.

I don't know how available some of these parts are to the average individual for some look pretty specific to only boxing, but perhaps your friends can use some creativity in making the parts.

Good luck and I hope these help you.

sincerely,

Alan Kahn
