    It was suggested that the William Futrell v Gentleman John Jackson fight in 1788 used ropes but as it is only interpretations of a no longer existing article i am not shure if its seen as the definative answer.

    The London Prize ring rules state a ring and ropes so i am guessing befor 1838 as they wouldnt introduce the rule randomly.

    For years they used 3 ropes, then they started using 4, when was that?

    GPater11093 is the closest.
