To move up in a healthy way, you have to adjust your diet, your gonna have to eat more. A healthy weight gain is about .5 Kg per week, so at a good rate you will take 20 weeks to your new goal, of course weight training will aid in this. I would still do your Thai Boxing / Boxing though maybe just cut back, don't cut it out though, because if you switch to exclusively weight training you will slow down and your skills will become rusty.

Bingo, imo if you're 6 foot and walking around at 62kg your either young and still growing or not eating right... ;)

Thanks, at last somebody agrees with me this is fundamentally wrong.
I eat more than people who are 80-90kg. i eat all day everyday and around 80% of my daily intake is healthy stuff.
I enjoy Thai boxing, but its not changing my weight and i am clearly outgunned at the gym when it comes to sparing etc so I cannot go on this way, its time for a change.

Re: Moving up a weight class
Whats the point in that though? I want to gain mass, not loose it.
People who want to loose weight are no relevant to me.

I by no means want to be a ronnie coleman or jay cutler, even moving up to 68kg would be perfect for me.
Do you think the above workout routine is adequate for me?

Any idea how many Kcals? You'd be surprised how much some of us eat ;) When I am training I sometimes eat almost 4000 Kcals in a day... :P
Dropped down quiet a bit mind, this was when I was labouring 7 hours a day on top of doing my gym work in the evenings... :)
