WBC & Olympic Boxing Ring Standards – Everything You Need to Know Before Buying

When it comes to professional boxing, the boxing ring is not just a platform—it’s the foundation of the sport. Choosing the right ring size and mat is critical whether you’re hosting professional fights, training athletes, or opening a new gym. At FIT DXB, with over six years of experience supplying boxing rings across the UAE, the Arabic region, and South Asia, we ensure you get the right boxing ring that meets international standards at the best prices.

What is the WBC Standard Boxing Ring?

The WBC (World Boxing Council) standard boxing ring for professional fights is 5m x 5m x 1m inside the ropes.
    •    If a fight takes place in a non-standard boxing ring, it will not be counted in professional boxing records, even if the event happens.
    •    That’s why gyms, promoters, and event organizers must ensure their boxing ring matches WBC regulations.

This size ensures fighters have the correct balance of space, footwork, and safety during matches.

Olympic Boxing Ring Size

For amateur and Olympic competitions, the AIBA/Olympic authorized boxing ring size is slightly different:
    •    The inside fighting area measures 6.1m x 6.1m.
    •    The platform is raised between 91cm and 122cm from the ground.
    •    The ropes are positioned at specific heights to ensure fighter safety.

This difference in size is why Olympic boxing feels more open and movement-focused, while professional boxing under WBC rules is more compact.

Types of Boxing Ring Mats

The boxing mat is just as important as the ring itself. At FIT DXB, we provide two main types of boxing mats, each with its pros and cons:

1. Canvas Mat – Best for Professional Fights

✔ Approved for professional boxing matches
✔ Excellent grip for steady footwork and stances
✘ Difficult to clean – sweat and blood stains remain
✘ Can develop bad odor over time

Canvas is the traditional and required choice for WBC-approved fights.

2. PU Leather Mat – Best for Training & Marketing

✔ Easy to clean – no sweat or blood stains
✔ No bad smells after long use
✔ Can be printed in multiple colors and logos – perfect for branding, sponsors, and promotional videos
✘ Not approved for professional competitions

PU leather is highly recommended for gyms, training centers, and media content creation.
