Does boxing interfere with gaining muscle?
I would like to gain muscle, weight and at the same time be flexible, in good condition, and do competitions in near future in boxing. For that, after the recommendations, I bought the proteins and aminos.

Does boxing 3 times in a week interfere (or slower) with gaining muscles?

Here is my workout calendar everyday after 19h except Sunday:

Mon: Boxing
Tue: Bodybuilding
Wed: Boxing
Thu: Bodybuilding
Fri: Boxing
Sat: Bodybuilding
Sun: nothing

At the same time I want to be in a good shape of course and loose fat.

Nearly everything except eating, resting, and lifting heavy weights slows down muscle growth. So, yes, boxing will somewhat interfere with your bodybuilding. This answer may help.

However, it doesn't sound like your goal is "get bigger", it's "get fitter in every way", so your current amount of boxing is fine. Boxing will improve your conditioning, as well as your ability to box and to compete. However, you might get more results out of powerlifting or Olympic lifting rather than bodybuilding, since those would develop strength and power more than muscle size.
