Nasser,
You really don't need a diet plan. Your workout will condition you on it's own. Only when you are close to a fight will you need to be more careful about what you eat.
You should run 3 to 4 days a week, 2 miles at a time to start. According to how you react to that level then it can be changed accordingly. You should lift weights 3 days a week. Cover every body part but do not over do it. You should spend no more than 90 minutes in the weight room. Your boxing workout should be 2 or 3 days a week. I would do the weight lifting on the off days from boxing. You definitely need to rest. I would take one full day off and you should lift weights on alternate days, not 2 days in a row. You can over train if you do too much which will have an opposite effect, so remember that more is not always better. Just be consistent and you will make gains.
Good Luck,
Jackson

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.
