It is possible, but everyone is different. You won't know until you try. You will look flat, but you are suppose to. That's why you carb back up a few days before the show to restore fullness.

Increase HIIT 15 min before your workout every day you burn more calories when you lift if you do it that way. Increased heart rate for longer duration of time HIIT 5-6x a week plus 45min am cardio or whatever your morning cardio is

Will try that hiit method before working out to see how it goes + the morning fasted cardio. ty

That's an awful lot of HIIT. I honestly wouldn't recommend any more than 2-3 sessions per week of up to 30 minutes regarding HIIT. I also think that post-workout would be far more optimal. Pre-workout HIIT would only exhaust you and likely negatively influence strength during the lifting portion of your workout.

I agree, keep the hiit to 3x a week max and do it on off days or if you have to, post workout. Also drop the fasted cardio

That's fine, but there's really no benefit to doing fasted vs fed cardio. Your body may burn slightly more fat during fasted cardio but you can push harder during a fed cardio session and create a larger caloric burn, which would equal out to the same amount of fat burned.

Do u think boxing hiit would hurt my upper body? ( shoulders / chest ) like losing too much muscle

No. You might be a little sore the first couple of times that you do it but your body should adapt.
