What exercises are useful to increase my punching power and speed?

Thanks

Speed:

Shadow Boxing with weights 2lbs/1kg
Explosive exercise like clap push up, lifting tires, chopping wood etc
Working on your technique
Staying loose (Floyd Mayweather style Pad work helps )
Working your core and hips help alot in speed.


Power:
Working with resistance Bands
Also explosive exercises
Heavy bag- heavy hitting
Working your core + legs
Proper technique

Perfect! Thanks a lot. Exactly what I was looking for.

Learn how to train with cords.
Shadow box with hand weights, or a roll pennies with duct tape around them.

But mostly just Practice technique over and over.

Also don't neglect leg drive. Work on exercises that build leg strength, especially in your hips.

To increase power chop wood or hit a tractor tire with a sledge hammer. Not only will those increase power they will help condition your muscles. Develops one punch ko power. Archie Moore, Shavers and Foreman all chopped wood.

For speed Addix and Buakaw gave excellent advice

Much of your power and speed is in the legs, hips, and shoulders. Power is generated from the ground up and your technique is what will allow the speed to come through. Speed, and form (fluidity of movement and use of the correct muscles) contributes to power. Think of it less as "What exercises do I need to do to build power and speed", and more like, "What do I need to stop doing that is hindering my power and slowing my speed." You don't build speed, you mitigate the things that are preventing speed (clenching, poor form, failing to use hips/feet/shoulders properly, etc).

Guys like Kovalev and Golovkin are proof that you don't need more muscle to have more power. You need to hone your technique.

Agreed, my only training at the moment for power is the heavy bag. But I hit like a mule. Opponents I've had were always wary of my power. They would either play keep away and jab me, or try to swarm me with activity from the outset, so I don't get off. That's the problem with going full in on the heavy bag in view of those who are taking notes for when you face them. My most dedicated heavy bag sessions are on my personal heavy bag at my home. I really hammer out technique and pacing there, and prospective opponents don't know the full extent of what I can bring to the table, should I make my way to the boxing gym.

well, that and deadfall pushups

One good little technique is to take a mid-punching stance and push against a wall for 6 secs or so with your fist... isometrics. Like the guy shows in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNgo-jnFs_0

Similarly, you can hold your punch strong against the pad upon impact (if you have someone to work with), or against the heavy bag (if you don't have someone to work with). Do this a few times each workout and you'll notice a lot more 'pop' to your punches when you throw normally. But yeah, technique is more important than anything else I think
