How to Purchase a New Boxing Ring for Your Gym | Fuji Mats Australia

Investing in a new boxing ring for your gym is a major decision that requires careful planning and consideration. Whether setting up a professional training facility, a boxing club, or a fitness centre with a combat sports focus, choosing the right boxing ring ensures safety, durability, and optimal training conditions. This buyer’s guide will help you navigate the key factors to consider when purchasing a boxing ring.

1. Determine the Right Size for Your Gym

Boxing rings come in different sizes depending on their intended use. Consider the available space in your gym and the purpose of the ring:

• Training Rings: Typically range from 12ft to 16ft (3.66m - 4.88m) and are ideal for smaller gym spaces.
• Amateur Competition Rings: Commonly 16ft to 20ft (4.88m - 6.10m) inside the ropes, providing ample space for sparring.
• Professional Rings: Standard competition size is 20ft to 24ft (6.10m - 7.32m) inside the ropes, with the larger 24ft being used for high-level fights.

2. Choose Between a Floor-Mounted or Elevated Boxing Ring

• Floor-Mounted Rings: Ideal for gyms with limited space, these rings sit directly on the gym floor and require minimal installation. At Fuji Mats Australia, our floor-mounted boxing rings start at approximately $4,000 AUD.
• Elevated Rings: Common for competition and professional training setups, these rings come with a platform, steps, and a skirt for a traditional look and feel. Our elevated rings typically start from around $12,000 AUD. These prices are indicative and can vary based on customisation and additional features.

3. Consider Boxing Ring Materials & Construction

When it comes to construction, quality matters. Fuji Boxing Rings are manufactured with superior materials that guarantee longevity and safety:

• Laser Cut Steel: Our rings are built using precision laser-cut steel, ensuring every component fits perfectly for maximum stability.
• Powder-Coated Finish: The powder-coated finish not only gives a sleek, modern appearance but also offers rust-free performance, ensuring durability even in demanding environments.
• Frame & Posts: Look for heavy-duty steel frames that support both the training and competitive needs of your gym.
• Ring Padding: High-density foam padding ensures safety and effective shock absorption.
• Ring Canvas vs. Vinyl Flooring: Vinyl flooring is easier to maintain and is more resistant to moisture, making it a superior choice over traditional canvas for everyday training gyms. Canvas is a traditional floor fabric and is highly used in competitions.

4. Rope & Turnbuckle Considerations

• Ropes: Boxing rings typically have four tensioned ropes, which should be covered with soft padding to prevent injuries.
• Turnbuckles & Corner Pads: Ensure that turnbuckles are securely covered with thick padding for safety during every bout.

5. Installation & Assembly Requirements

Some rings require professional installation, while others come with a bolt-together design for easier setup. Ensure that your gym has the necessary space and structural support to accommodate the ring, especially if opting for an elevated design.

6. Budget Considerations & Additional Features

Prices vary based on size, materials, and brand reputation. When budgeting, consider:

• Boxing ring frame & flooring cost
• Additional accessories like corner pads, ropes, and branding
• Installation and delivery costs

Fuji Mats Australia offers competitive pricing to meet your needs. With floor-mounted options starting at around $4,000 AUD and elevated rings from $12,000 AUD, you can select a solution that fits both your budget and space requirements.

7. Branding & Customisation Options

If you're setting up a commercial gym or training centre, consider branding options such as custom logo printing on ring skirts, corner pads, and floor mats to enhance your gym’s professional look.
