I'm no boxer, but I read somewhere that doing pushups where you clap helps build up punching power.

I use to coach boxing, and to add power to your punches it mostly comes from the twisting of your torso. I would do twisting abs work, hyperextensions, and medicine ball work. If you want upper body strength, pullups and chinups. Making jabs really fast and snapping them are keys to wearing your opponent down.

having a strong back will improve your punching power. So make sure you are doing your back exercises.
