When the fighter is in the ring, he goes to the center to bow to each of the four
sides of the ring, paying his respects to the audience who has paid to see him fight.
The fighter then returns to his corner and if he is wearing a robe, his trainer
removes it for him to begin the real pre-fight ceremony.
eginning in his own corner, the fighter places his right hand atop the uppermost
ring rope and walks counter-clockwise around the ring, symbolically "Sealing the
Ring".
