im currently coming off ankle surgery and way out of shape i just got back into the gym to lift weights and do some cardio i still can box though does anyone have good exercises for boxing as far as weights are concerned i try to stay away from heavy weights unless its deadlifts or squats i try to do one or the other of these every other day because its a good full body lift and also ive been doing standing shoulder press but nothing besides those 3 as far as weights really

It's pointless to name exercises... remember the term "Specificity of Training" Do exercises that relate to boxing movements.

I should probably add as far as non weight training that I've been doing about an hour to an hour and a half of cardio a day from riding on the stationary bike, elliptical machine, or the rowing machine. I mostly use the bike and the rowing machine because i get the best work out I feel on the rowing machine and the bike helps condition my legs as well as rehab the since I can't yet run. I do minimum workouts on the elliptical to ease back into the running motion but its still painful to do that. I'm not sure if I'm overdoing the cardio part of my workout or not at this point by going as long as an hour and a half

If you're looking to get better at boxing instead of just lifting for strength, try plyometrics exercises. They're designed to build fast, explosive strength. So in the usual slow up, slow down, you do for weights, plyometrics will be fast up, slow down, or something to that degree.
That will help get your muscles used to going from a dead stop, to everything you can give them.
