Why is a boxing ring square?

0

Back in the day of bare knuckle boxing a circle was drawn on the ground and spectators circled it and made sure to stay outside the circle and like wize the boxer had to stay within the circle. Marquess of Queensberry rules which was drafted in the 1860’s and made official a couple years later changed the circle to a square ring with posts and ropes. It would be very hard to design a circle ring with ropes, I just dont see how It could be done easily. You would have to have like 20 posts and no ropes. So they made it Square and continued to call it the Ring or Squared Circle. So a Square was more Feasible then a round ring.
