From my blog, perfect for the gym BUT if you have a heavy bag at home, this is the workout for you... seriously one of the best workouts I have ever had. Although I have not included all of it, you can check my workout log:

Warm up with some Skipping and then do some Technique:
Skipping
10 minutes (last 10 seconds of each minute sprint)
Footwork / Shadow Boxing Drills - 5 x 3 minutes (30 seconds rest)
I got these drills from Mr Roy Jones SR and I really liked them, the idea is for rounds 1 to 3 keep moving forward and throwing punches, once you reach the ropes (or wall!) pivot and return, do this non-stop for the whole round.
Round 1 - Move across the ring with Step jab, reach ropes, pivot 180 degrees.
Round 2 - Move across the ring with Jab-Cross, reach ropes, pivot 180 degrees.
Round 3 - Move across the ring with Cross-Hook, reach ropes, pivot 180 degrees.
Round 4 - Circle the ring, side stepping constantly jabbing and changing direction (Sugar Ray style)
Round 5 - Jab Slip Drills. Slip Outside come in with right uppercut, Slip inside come in with left uppercut.
Not sure about you guys, but I get bored shitless doing freestyle bagwork, so I have decided that I need something to fix it. Here is a GREAT circuit I found and tested out today, it was absolutely brilliant.
Bag Drills - 5 x 3 minute (60 seconds rest)
Round 1
min 1 - Lead Hand (Jabs, Left Hooks, Lead Uppercuts)
min 2 - Jab & Cross Combos (1-2, 1-1-2, 1-2-1-2, 1-2-1-1)
min 3 - Free style combinations
Round 2
min 1 - Power Punches (Combo's as hard as possible)
min 2 - Outside work (constantly moving with 1-1-1 and pivots)
min 3 - Free style combinations
Round 3
min 1 - Free style combinations
min 2 - Lead Hand (Jabs, Left Hooks, Lead Uppercuts)
min 3 - 10 punch outs with 1 sec rest (13 sets)
Round 4
min 1 - Free style combinations
min 2 - Power Punches (Combo's as hard as possible)
min 3 - Jab & Cross Combos (1-2, 1-1-2, 1-2-1-2, 1-2-1-1)
Round 5
min 1 - Jab, Hook, Cross (1-3-2)
min 2 - Inside Drill (shoulder must remain touching bag)
min 3 - Free style combinations
Finish with one of the best ways ever to exhaust yourself... burpees. I do 5 x 2 minutes because that is the round time of my fight and I reduce the rest to 30 seconds. If you are a pro adjust to 5x3 minutes or whatever you fight with 30 seconds rest.
Shadow Boxing Burpees - 5 x 2 minutes (30 seconds rest)
Oh fuck, Oh fuck... these are sickening, seriously... these are designed by someone seriously evil. You Shadow Box for 30 seconds (aim to throw 75 punches... this is not a rest!!!) and then do explosive burpees as fast as you can for 30 seconds, shadow box again for 30 seconds (aim to throw 75 punches) and then do another 30 seconds of explosive burpees. Rest 30 seconds and repeat.
Finish with Sit Ups. I personally do 4 x 50=200... But I actually found that four to five exercises for 3 sets x 10 reps made my abs grow more, but hurt too much the next morning for me to do every day.
