This ring is unique within bare knuckle boxing and in part contributes to the sports appeal. This is referred to as 'Toe the Line', and it is an instruction given to the fighters at the beginning of each round, followed by 'Knuckle Up' which signals the beginning of the round. It is a requirement that each fighter must start each round with their front foot on their scratch line. These scratch lines are based on the Broughton Rules, which governed bare knuckle fighting in the 19th century. This ring incorporates elements of historical bare knuckle fighting by containing two scratch lines, three feet apart and in the middle of the ring.

BKFC UK holds all bouts in a circular four-rope ring, referred to as the 'Squared Circle'.
