Hello! I'm new to this forum and came to seek any advice. I have many goals but my main one is to become a pro. It will take a lot of work and that's what I love but I'm having trouble finding a good training plan. I know to become pro all you have to do is stick to your gym and work hard at it and eventually it'll come but my problem is that I also like lifting,bjj and calisthenics. Basically I want to be a hybrid athlete. I don't want to be just quick and agile I also want to have power, mass, flexibility, endurance and stamina. Right now though I want to gain some mass for boxing because I don't want to fight in lightweight class anymore. I want to start packing some more power behind my punches and pump myself up to 160-165 atleast. I've stopped boxing for awhile and did gain some muscle mass from powerlifting but after awhile I've felt a reduction in stamina,agility and speed. As a boxer how can I lift and gain mass while boxing? I'm 5'7" weigh 148lbs and have a fast metabolism. I've been consuming 4000calories a day to increase mass but I know I'll lose weight easily if I start boxing again.

Here's the short answer: You need to find a good boxing gym and a good coach and works your face off.
Why do you want to pump yourself up to 160-165lbs? Increasing your weight may increase your punching power, but technique will do it much more efficiently and quickly. If you don't know how to punch properly, putting on the extra 15+ pounds won't do much for your. Learn how to punch properly and this goes back to the first line in this post.
Calories in vs. calories out, most people that say they're taking in 4000 calories a day are rarely taking in 4000 calories a day. I'm not saying that you're not I just most people underestimate what 4000 calories a day actually looks like. You want to gain weight - drink a gallon a milk a day for a month.

Unless you want to get really good at something you need to focus on that one specific thing until you become really f'n good at it. Build your foundation and go from there.
You already know the answers, you're looking for the secret, here it is "find a good boxing gym and a good coach and work your face off."
