Powerlifting and Boxing

Powerlifting is totally viable in combat sports. If you're doing any sort of combat strength and conditioning, you're better off doing compound lifts like those.

Anthony Joshua is a person that exists.

Though he gets criticized by boxing critics for it. They make a fair point.

It's possible, but mind that you are doing two seperate things. Especially in the beginning you will need time to adapt your muscles (resting time) or you're in for overtraining. So start it slow, because in running/cardio it's about strength per weight and you need to get in slowly.

Furthermore you'll nee more Springiness. The good news: Maximum strength (i.e. lifting) is somewhat the lower bound of the springiness you can devellop: No muscles, no springiness.
The bad news: more muscles doesn't automatically mean more springiness.

Frankly in any grappling style you would probably have more carry over from your training, but boxing is a great sport, so have fun.

Powerlifting generally makes your muscles as stiff and hard as rocks over time. You need flexibility (IE "Springiness") to be able to box effectively.

Just in general:

Power lifting adds a lot of bulk that won't really help you much in terms of technique or power because your footwork, hand speed, and timing are more important anyways. You will be stronger, but if you're not training for boxing, your power will most likely be wasted since you'll just be bigger and more clumsy than someone else in your class.

Don't get me wrong though, strength training with boxing training is a phenomenal combination.

It's not about whether or not you've won,
it's about how you've won,
and how you could've lost

That's totally not true, quit living in the 50s

If you stretch after warm up and do a cool down work out that includes stretches then your flexibility should actually increase or at the very least stay the same.

>>Power lifting adds a lot of bulk

Nope, power lifting while eating a fuck ton adds bulk. Powerlifting, like boxing, is a weight class sport, you can get stronger while staying the same size.
