Just watch Kostya Tszyu, technique is the first thing you learn, exercises come second.

This is the correct answer. Learn how to punch properly generating power from your waist and legs, etc. Aong the way if you're training properly you'll strenthen your legs, your core muscles, learn to punch on balance and sharpen your timing to become a more effective puncher.

Ok I understand the legs giving you power part, but I can't do squats and stuff like that because I have terrible knees, so I don't know how im going to work out my legs...

can you do lunges or body squats?.

[one-Punch]

I have no idea how to do workouts like that....

body squats are like when you squat down to poop but you go down farther.
lunges

work on punching proper and do your pushups pullups and othr calistetics

make sure you use your legs and hips and shoulders when you punch
its all about technique

i assume most of you guys dont have trainers
or you wouldnt be asking some of these questions

Power comes from the feet, which free the hips to open up.

Working the heavy bag will do more for you than weights will, once you reach a good level of overall fitness.

Personally, I'd recommend a water bag, and that you also learn to kick. Learning to kick will teach you about opening the hips to really generate explosive core power & speed.
