Question about pull-ups and chin-ups...

[beds]

They should be done on your workout days, which should generally be every other day 6 days a week, with cardio work on the other day, but it depends on your routine.

I think Pullups are better for boxing as it focuses on the back muscles and triceps, which are much more important for boxing than biceps.

I don't know, whenever I do pull-ups, I can feel my tri's being worked as well as my shoulder and upper back muscles. (I know chin-ups are great for the bi's and forearms).

Maybe you are either feeling your triceps stretching because they are tight (they are the antogonist to the biceps which are the active muscles, producing movement) or maybe you are feeling a different muscle, such as your brachialles and confusing it with your tricep?

The major motion of the triceps is to extend the elbow joint, the only movement caused by a muscular contraction during a pull up at the elbow is flexion

simply put a wider grip means more stress on the lats and a more narrow grip means more on your biceps, to comment further we really need to know why your doing chin ups and what you want from the exercise and then can suggest how many times a week you should be doing them
