Sam,
I would use the place in he garden for strength training. Stick to strength building excercises. Bench press, squats, dead lifts and overhead press. Use a weight that is comfortable for 6 to 8 reps.
For working on your boxing skills you need to find a boxing gym in your area. Go to http://boxing.usoc.org/content/index/43

good luck,

My trainer/boss of 24 years is in the Golden Gloves Hall of Fame and trained the heavyweight champion of the world.

Experience
I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. We have cultivated our facility into the largest Amateur Boxing Gym in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. I have worked corners in pro bouts on HBO and ESPN cards. My friend, boss and coach is the former President of Golden Gloves and I trained under his tutelage.
Organizations
I am a certified Golden Gloves/USA Boxing Coach. I am also a licensed to work pro bouts in several states.
