In the infancy of modern boxing there were no rules and fights took place within either a ring of spectators or a circle chalked on the floor.

English boxer Jack Broughton who had, during his career, done much to popularise the sport, published rules to cover fights that he promoted. Although these speak of fights taking place on a stage, there are no stipulations concerning the fighting area. When he died, Broughton was sufficiently well-regarded to be buried in Westminster Abbey.
