There are no boxing gyms near my house. I have a pull up bar and skipping rope. I heard weights are not required during boxing. I stopped doing weight training, I have not gained much muscle mass, however I gained a little strength in my arms, but still skinny as a match stick. I cannot buy a punching bag because the walls are hollow and will not be able to support the heavy bag. However I heard one of my cousins has a punching bag, and they will hang it on the garage wall soon. So once they do I will be going there often.

I have been inspired by Muhammad Ali and I have met Amir Khan in a restaurant when I was small . At the moment I am 15 years old, I used to do only sport and cardio on Mondays and other days weight training. I did do full sprint and I was surprised how unfit I was, I cant run for long but I can run fast. I get tired quite quick in HIIT, after it I feel dizzy and my head shakes. The problem is if I do too much cardio I will lose weight :/

My goal is to get into boxing and get into shape for boxing. I do not have a boxing routine at the moment and would be well appreciated if a trainer gives me a boxing routine Advises will also be well appreciated.
Thank you all ~ Altster
Fairly similar to what Boyla said.

Technique is something to focus on early. I was taught to shadow box or hit the bag at a slow pace, just throw slow combinations and once its very comfortable, get faster, then faster.

Film yourself on your phone, iPad, etc, and watch it back, you'll be able to tell how your progressing, technique wise.

Other things you can do without a gym.
-Skip (buy rope)
-jog
-shadow box
-push ups, sit ups, pull ups

I also wouldn't stop using your weight bar, I understand why you were told it wasn't needed, but if you believe that you are too skinny then your obviously uncomfortable with your weight, so I'd continue to try and get bigger.
