Answer 1

Boxing will help your fitness, but look at it the other way around. To be a boxer you have to be fit.

Boxers are among the most all-round fit sportsmen around.

They have to be light on their feet (dancing type exercise);

Have good cardio-vascular function (running type exercise);

Have powerful lungs (any exertion excercise, swimming);

Have strong legs (running, cycling);

Strong arms (weights);

Great co-ordination (punch bags & balls).

In other words - to be a boxer you inevitably have to exercise. Great stuff - go for it.
