{{cquote|Punch-Out!! ''is the inspiration for this stage. You're able to fight both inside the ring and out. Try using the ropes on the left and right of the ring to perform giant jumps, or attack the light fixture above the ring to send it crashing down.''|cite=[[Super Smash Bros. 4 Official Site|''Super Smash Bros. 4'' Official Site]]}}

{{cquote|''You can jump really high using the ringside rope. And when you attack the lights on the ceiling…well, you'll have to wait and see. By the way, holding down the L button when selecting this stage will turn this into the Punch-Out!! version of the Boxing Ring!''|cite=[https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/blog/ Super Smash Blog]|source=[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Official Site]]}}}}

The boxing ring lies inside of an indoor stadium. An overhead light fixture hangs above the ring, along with a jumbotron in the background with large speakers astride of it. The stadium additionally features various lights, green krypton lasers, background pyrotechnics, fog machines along the entrance platforms, a scrolling LED panel hanging around the walls, and a visible audience surrounding the entirety of the ring.

==Origin==

[[File:BoxingRingWii.png|170px|left|thumb|The boxing ring for the World Circuit as it appeared in ''Punch-Out!!'' for the Wii.]]

In every home console ''Punch-Out!!'' game, the player plays as [[Little Mac]] as he works his way up in professional boxing circuits to become the W.V.B.A. (World Video Boxing Association) champion. The ''Punch-Out!!'' variation of this stage is loosely based on the Major Circuit stadium's interior design, which features a lot of bluish designs and furniture, and the World Circuit's  boxing ring, which has a blue mat with the World Circuit's logo in the center and yellow ropes. Both of these designs appear in ''[[wikipedia:Punch-Out!! (Wii)|Punch-Out!!]]'' for the [[Wii]], though the text displays "Punch-Out!!" rather than "Major Circuit" or "World Circuit," and the walkways leading to the ring are largely absent in the game itself. The jumbotron hanging above the ring is taken from the [[wikipedia:Punch-Out!! (arcade game)|''Punch-Out!!'' arcade game]], though in addition to displaying player stats like in said game, it also shows the action from the ring in real-time. The Major Circuit is the second circuit in the game, where Little Mac must fight [[Piston Hondo]], Bear Hugger, [[Great Tiger]] and Title Holder [[Don Flamenco]]. The World Circuit is the final circuit in the game and has Little Mac fight against Aran Ryan, [[Soda Popinski]], [[Bald Bull]], Super Macho Man and the reigning champion, [[Mr. Sandman]]. After beating the game in Contender mode, Little Mac must fight off tougher versions of his past opponents in the World Circuit ring in Title Defense mode.

==Trivia==

[[File:Boxingringken.png|thumb|A comparison of Ken's appearance on [[New Donk City]] (left) and Boxing Ring, showing the saturated colors visible when playing on the latter stage.]]

*The stage was used as the setting of the character trailer for [[Ken (SSBU)|Ken]] and [[Incineroar (SSBU)|Incineroar]].

*{{SSBU|Link}}, {{SSBU|Kirby}}, {{SSBU|King Dedede}}, {{SSBU|Mega Man}}, and {{SSBU|Ryu}} are the only characters to have their titles changed in the North American English localization between ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate''.

**Since the North American and European English localizations use the same titles in ''Ultimate'', all other characters who had different titles in the European English ''Smash 4'' now use the title from the North American English version of ''Smash 4''.

*{{SSBU|Incineroar}}'s [[Max Malicious Moonsault|Final Smash]] takes place on a Boxing Ring different to the ''Punch-Out!!'' and ''Smash Bros.'' versions as it features its own unique emblem.

*Due to the My Music restructuring, Boxing Ring has less music between ''for Wii U'' and ''Ultimate''.
