Holyfield/Tyson and Foreman were advocate weight trained,Holyfield hired Lee Haney at one point. Ha

Marciano said he trained with weights.

Current guys like Beterbiev ,GGG and HW hard punchers Joshua , Mahkmoduv and Vlad sirenko do weights as well.

Athleanx is probably the best youtube channel when it comes to lifting for athletes.

Strength training with heavy weights and low reps, as opposed to muscle building a la Bruno or Joshua is highly beneficial for boxing, helping with punching power.

You would compliment this with higher reps on your smaller muscles such as the rotator cuff and rear delts to prevent imbalances and injuries.

Front squats, incline bench and deadlifts are your bread and butter as these build strength while minimising muscle mass which could force you out of your weight class.

Strength and athleticism go hand in hand. Just be sure to use correct technique. Hire someone to teach you if necessary.

Hope this helps, best of luck.

Quality post.

The main thing as a boxer is to avoid becoming too muscular in that you may become immobile (Joshua). You want to ideally have a balance between strength and mobility / agility.

Marciano said he trained with weights.

He was a calisthenics advocate actually. Minimal weight training, like a medicine ball or big rock.

Deadlifts will also increase muscle mass, if that's what you want to do. The trick is to control your diet and calorie intake. You can lift as heavy as you like and you won't gain weight unless you take in more calories.

Spot on regarding calories. As for deadlifts, there are variations. Bodybuilders typically use it for building a wide back or Romanian style for building up the hamstrings.
The powerlifting style doesn't tend to build too much bulk in my experience.
