boxing
One or more rings or other space for competitive boxing, usually bounded by ropes.
A boxing site is an arena, forum, practice space, or other area where boxing rings are regularly set up and used for training or public performances. The sport of boxing is a rules-based contest between two fighters using their fists to pound each other above the waist.
A ring is regularly set up and used at the site. Training spaces are included alongside arenas for public boxing performances.
The boxing use need not occupy a dedicated spectator stadium. A practice area with the regular ring and training function also qualifies.
