    Because boxers used to fight in a circle drawn on the floor, called the ring. This name stuck On even after the boxing ring became a square...

    To make people ask this question many years later...they were a very cunning bunch, they were!

    ....and....why do you park on a driveway and drive on a parkway?    :)
