Boxing Ring (特設リング, Special Ring) is a stage in both the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U 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. It has been shown that 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 can be destroying by attacking it, making the room dark.
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 Smash stage. At Little Mac's reveal however, the Smash symbols were shown replaced with Punch-Out!! logos, showing that the stage is indeed a Punch-Out!! stage as was speculated since the stage's reveal. This led people to believe the Smash 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 Sakurai, it was confirmed that the earlier seen Smash version will be another version of the stage. It's unknown at this time if there will be any non-aesthetic differences between the versions.
Initially this stage seemed to be exclusive to the Wii U version of the game, though with Little Mac's reveal, a 3DS version was shown to be in existence.
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 Assocation (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.
