Liverpool Stadium was a permanent ring. To British Boxing Board Of Control championship specifications. It was donated to a local amateur boxing club when the ball fell to demolition in 1987. The only times I knew it to be dismantled were for a couple of circus shows held there. Another modification was that when it was used as a venue for rock concerts and trade union meetings, the ropes were removed. Noddy Holder, of Slade, tripped and fell from the ring injuring his ankle during a performance in the late 70s.
The rings were transported from venue to venue and erected on the day by the promoters. The smallest were 12 X 12 and the largest 24 x 24 feet, with a 16 X 16 in between.

Hi Ron, I think that you can add Newcastle, St James Hall, to the list of biggest rings.
Wimbledon Palais was not too small either.
I would think Liverpool Stadium and Kings Hall Belle Vue would qualify as the biggest.
I thought the one at Wryton Stadium looked small.
Knowing that Danny Flynn carried one in his van from venue to venue makes you realize how small they could be. No different at Pontins.
Somehow it seems to work whatever.
Don't see how Rocky Wall could have done his flying headbutt in some of them.
