looking at your height and weight what weight division ur are planing to do?

You have to lose some weight man, if you fight at super heavyweight you're gonna get killed. Stop lifting weights and do more plyometrics. Don't jog, run fast and switch it up. You want to do more sprints. Join a boxing gym, your coach can give you some indications of how to go about things.

Seriously, that weight could be a big problem if you keep lifting weights. At your height, for a boxer.. you should be around 130-140. So, you'll have to work on that. Though, as you age your body will naturally get bigger. At 16, that is very realistic and it'd depend on how fast you lost the weight.

Not trying to poke fun, I'm just giving advice. It's possible, you can lose the weight.

all cardio no weights//go on a protein diet and lose the carbs so you can drop the weight//try sitting in a sauna a couple days a week

Build up your cardio to a point where your comfortable to start boxing.
Keep up the weightlifting because your puttin up really good number even with your weight especially the squat... just dont powerlift use lower weights with more reps.
The main muscle groups to focus on should be your abs, shoulders, back, arms etc.

And dont worry about working on footwork or hitting heavy bags yet cause if you are planning on getting a trainer he will tell you how to do it so just do it his way.

Other than that just get on a good diet and if you want talk to someone who knows about supplements (protein and stuff like that not steroids) for boxing and use some of those.

Good luck

Run Run Run..then run some more. Leave the weights alone for right now stick to push ups pull ups and crunches, things of that nature. You're gonna have to revamp that diet also. Heavily.
