1. jump rope
2. jumping rope is a basic boxing workout
3. No offence to these other guys who are saying you should use a jump rope but that just improves your stamina. I am 16 years old and have done muay thai also known as thai boxing for many years now. Good idea in your weightlifting regime would be to do low weight and high repetitions. Doing this improves your muscular endurance. This means that you can last longer in a fight due to your muscles not tiring out quickly. Even though you do bench presses and bicep curl.. I am presuming. What else do you do. I reccommend working on your triceps, forearms, wrists and core muscles. Especially your core muscles for they determine the outcome of a fight a lot in boxing. There are various exercises for core muscles such as leg raises, trunk twists (a variation of situps), plank, side plank, dorsal raises etc. For your forearms you can do forearm curls. For your triceps you can do tricep curls, french presses. Anyway there is so much I know that I can't fit into one comment. If there is anything else you need to know just ask. I know a lot of stuff that will help you but I am getting knackered typing.
