Boxing Ring (特設リング, Special Ring) is a stage in both versions of Super Smash Bros. 4. The stage is set in the boxing ring used in the World Circuit of Punch-Out!! for the Wii.
Overview
A generic indoor stadium with a jumbotron, with a visible audience in the background, and fights taking place in a boxing ring. Characters can stand on the ropes surrounding the ring and perform spring jumps off of them for extra height. In addition, the light fixture above the ring can be stood on, and it can be destroyed when players attack it, dropping it onto the ring and dimming the lighting of the entire stage. The light fixture can damage players as it falls and cause potential KOs at high percentages.
It was shown to have "Smash Bros." signs and symbols initially, which made it unclear what universe the stage was from or if it was an original Super Smash Bros. stage. At Little Mac's reveal however, the Super Smash Bros. symbols were shown to be replaced with Punch-Out!! logos, establishing that the stage is indeed a Punch-Out!! stage as was speculated since the stage's reveal. This led people to believe the Super Smash Bros. symbols were just placeholders to hide the fact it was a Punch-Out!! stage (and, by extension, Little Mac's inclusion in the earlier trailers), but in a later Miiverse post by Masahiro Sakurai, it was confirmed that the earlier seen Super Smash Bros. version will be another version of the stage. They are identical besides aesthetics.
Only images of the Wii U version of the Boxing Ring stage had been revealed for a large duration of Super Smash Bros. 4's pre-release, and it was only with the official announcement of Little Mac that the 3DS version was finally revealed. While everything is the same in terms of layout, the Wii U version of the stage has the exclusive feature of showing a custom versus splash on the screen in the style of the original Punch-Out!! arcade game, complete with the characters having unique titles.
Origin
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 World Video Boxing Association (WVBA) champion. The last circuit that Little Mac goes through is the World Circuit. The Punch-Out!! variation of this stage is loosely based on the World Circuit boxing ring that appears in Punch-Out!! for the Wii. The design of the ring itself has been retained in Super Smash Bros. 4, as well as the scrolling text in the background; however, the text in Punch-Out!! read "World Circuit" rather than "Punch-Out!!".

Trivia
- As Punch-Out!! is itself a fighting game series, Boxing Ring is one of only three stages in the Super Smash Bros. series to be featured as a stage in fighting games outside of the Super Smash Bros. series, the others being Green Hill Zone and Pyrosphere.
- When a character performs their Final Smash, the scrolling text says "Chance!" instead of "Punch-Out"/"Smash Bros.".
- In addition, whenever a character gets a KO, the scrolling text says "KO!". It also says "KO!" on the screen.
- When Sudden Death occurs, the screen will show "Sudden Death".
- In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, holding the L button while selecting the Boxing Ring stage will load an alternate version of the stage where the symbol in the middle of the ring is the Super Smash Bros. logo. In the Wii U version, holding the ZL button while selecting this stage will load the Super Smash Bros. version of the stage.
- The NA character titles for Pikachu and Duck Hunt are the only ones to not use a nickname; rather, they use a phrase.
- The NA character title for Peach is a reference to her original localized name, "Princess Toadstool".
- The NA character title for Luigi is a reference to his Super Smash Bros. unlock notice: "You can now use Luigi, the eternal understudy."
- The NA and Japanese character titles for Mega Man are a reference to Mega Man 8's full Japanese title, Rockman 8: Metal Heroes.
- The PAL character title for Fox is a reference to one of Peppy's quotes in Star Fox 64: "Never give up. Trust your instincts."
- The PAL character title for Sonic is a reference to one of his victory pose quotes in Brawl: "Sonic's the name, speed's my game!"
- The PAL character title for Larry describes him as the leader of the Koopalings as a result of an out of context translation of his Japanese title, "Boss Minion" which actually means that he's a minion among bosses since he's the youngest Koopaling. It also references that he is usually the first to be fought so he, in a sense, leads the charge.
- The Japanese character title for Kirby is a reference to the in-game description for The Arena in Kirby Super Star, which calls him a "pink demon" in the Japanese script (translated to "Pink Wonder" in the original SNES version's English script and "Pink Terror" in Kirby Super Star Ultra's English script).
- The Japanese character title for Shulk is a reference to one of his recurring text-only quotes in the Japanese Xenoblade Chronicles script, "穏やかじゃないですね", which has a different meaning (e.g. "You sure aren't peaceful" or "How exciting") depending on context.
- The Japanese character title for Lucina is a reference to the Japanese title of Chapter 6 of Fire Emblem: Awakening, "未来を知る者" (One who knows the Future).
