wouldn't they benefit a lot more if they did more strength training, i read lots of them don't lift weightds and stick to bodyweight workouts, i mean even if they incorporated a little bit of strength training they would be kicking more a$$

The old school boxing branch states that lifting weights comprimises speed and agility.
They fear the fighter will become ' muscle bound '.
However, this is extremely rare and modern boxing schools often put fighters on a compound movement lifting routine for increased explosive power. Combined with a ****load of running / core workouts ofcourse.

Most professional boxers do incorporate some form of weight lifting into their routine to increase their overall strength, however too much weight = less speed in the ring and in a sport that is reliant on agility its a massive disadvantage

a lot of them do, but you don't need to so they don't. when i was 21 i got beat up by a skinny 17 year old kid.. turned out he already had 98 amateur fights. now he is pro and loaded, and trains with freddie roach. endurance is #1 so you can last and keep going when you're dead tired. i'm sure it's helpful not having heavy arms and forearms but i think lifting does increase power if all other variables are the same. no use in having power if you're too tired/slow to land. hardest punch is the one you don't see coming

I'm starting boxing, done it for about 2-3 months. Obviously I'm trying to lift and train in the same week, so for me it's like 3 boxing sessions and 4 lifting days (rarely do I have a rest day).
It's working fine so far, very hard to gain weight but I'm gaining skills, fitness and strength so who cares
dowantaesthetics and weight though, they will come

Generally speaking lifting weights builds slow twitch muscle fibers so they try to avoid slow heavy weight movements, they do a lot of light weight quick movements (medicine ball stuff, light compounds ect). Most of the muscular strength they build is from bodyweight work because it gives them relative strength while adding some real lean muscle. Also Op have you ever seen a boxing workout? by the end of a session they are toasted, adding in a weight routine (for example 3x a week) would slow down recovery and halt there training.

How though?
So you're saying lifting massive weights will improve fast twitch muscle fibers??
Look up any boxers' training regimen, there is no bench press 10 reps or DB curls in his workout log, EVER.
People mention tyson lol
Tysons' medical condition didnt allow him to go all rounds, thats why he tried for the KO all the time. Something was wrong with his heart. The rest of those heavyweights were already huge, i highly doubt they were bulking themselves more. Thats just stupid.
