The power in your punches comes all the way from your hips and your legs so squats are very effective. Of course, your shoulders are responsible for the delivery so military presses also helps.

Get two 5 pound weights. Get into your stance and throw a jab followed by a right hand. Do this as quickly as you can while maintaining good form until your arms tire out. Then put down the weights, give your arms a minute or so to rest. Then repeat the exercise without the weights and see how much faster your punches are. This exercise improves your speed and speed is power in boxing. A fast hit stings and the quicker you can return your hands to guard, the fewer hits you will receive in return.

There are lots of exercises you should do to train for boxing…. running, swimming if you have access to pool or lake, jump rope, push-ups, sit-ups, squat thrusts, kettle bell swings, weightless squats, bench press. Go to crossfit.com for more ideas.
Use gloves. Do each of these for 3 min then rest for a min. It’s good to practice in rounds just like how you would fight. Also bob and weave as you are doing these, don’t stay stationary. This here is a great order…
1.left jab
2.right jab
3.left cross
4.right cross
5.left jab, right cross
6.right jab, left cross
7.left jab, right cross, left jab
8.right jab, left cross, right jab
9.left hook
10.right hook
11.left jab, right hook
10.right jab, left hook
11.left jab, right cross, left hook
12.right jab, left cross, right hook
13.left upper-cut
14.right upper-cut
15.left jab right upper-cut
16.right jab, left upper-cut
17.left jab, right cross, left upper-cut
18.right jab, left cross, right upper-cut
19.left jab, right cross, left upper-cut, right hook
20.right jab, left cross, right upper-cut, left hook
and there are countless more combinations as large as the imagination is that you can practice
