Legs is everything in Boxing/Kickboxing... all the real power comes from your legs and more importantly your hips. You should try and run 2-3 miles a night if you can. Also do 100-200 push ups and 200-400 sit ups. Going to the boxing gym will be great but you shouldn't need to sign up for a normal gym likes Golds or Work Out World. Like TICL for your size speed and cardio will be more important then KO power. No harm in being able to KO anyone though!
To increase the success of your boxing you should buy a heavy bag after about a month of training... This way you know how to throw a punch and wont develop bad habbits but you can tighten your game in your spare time. I did when i started my Muay Thai training and it did wonders for my game.
Once you know what you are doing you can go out for a 2 mile run then come home and do a cool down (15 minutes of shadow boxing) then do 30 minutes of just hitting the bag with single punches... Like 50-100 jabs, 50 straights, 50 hooks, 50 uppercuts and then works combos and faints to increase your head movement and comfort level. i understand this is all going to be down the line but this is very hepful. I promise you that!
Shadow boxing is also a lot more complicated then people tend to think. It should be more mentally groulling then anything!
