Lifting weights or boxing? Both?

Both. Jiujitsu and/or wrestling too.

If you're worried about losing muscle mass, go ketogenic and intermittent fasting. Both are muscle sparing.

Do not do juice, your body is not built to receive outside T.

Alright put the roids away forever. Decently muscular means what exactly? If you can’t bench 300+ and squat 400+ at that height and weight, then you have a lot of fat to lose. I’d do a cut and see what happens. Probably can get you down around 220-225 before trying to bulk up.

Both. If you want to bulk, you need to eat more. If you want to cut, eat less. Factor boxing into your caloric intake and act accordingly.

I am more terrified of a well trained boxer

vs some faggot that lifts for aesthetics lmao

Fix your eating habits and eat correctly to accommodate the high amount of calories you will be burning.

At least try it for a while and learn some technique, who cares if you lose muscle mass.

lastly, give it your all.

simple.

on the days you box eat a little more and recover the calories. example; add a extra protein shake.

screw juice first of all and second why can't you eat more? If you want to do boxing go for it it'll get you cut as hell and you'll look great. You can eat more to compensate and keep your protein intake high and don't skip days.

All heavyweight boxers lift weights. Lifting helps their condition, the combination doesn't turn them into extremely tall middleweights or something...

It also sounds like the boxing is more of a hobby for you. You will be fine. Have some discipline with your diet (just like ANY bodybuilder has to do anyway), and your sleep (just like ANY bb)... If after a couple weeks your body hasn't adapted, then quit boxing.

If you’re relatively new then it’ll be easy to make gains in both simultaneously.

As you advance it’ll be difficult to really push hard in both at the same time, but you can cycle your main focus every 3-4 or even 6 months. E.g. in the summer you focus on boxing while lifting is on maintenance mode, winter you focus on lifting with boxing on maintenance.

Just eat plenty and manage your recovery well.
