Boxing is excellent cardio and hitting the heavy bag (correctly might i add) will build muscle. I do hope you go find a proper trainer though, for your own sake. Teaching yourself a sport like boxing isn't suggested by anyone, you need to learn the correct technique and how to punch correctly, and this can only be done by receiving instructions and criticism by a professional.
>it leads to brain damage eventually.
That is complete idiocy. Heavyweight professionals, who have had long careers, sure. But for an auteur, especially one who isn't a heavyweight, it's unheard of. How hard you get hit is weight*speed, but no matter how big someone gets, their brain and cushioning inside their skull is still going to remain the same as someone who weighs 60kg. OP, as long as you're not pursuing a lengthy professional career in the higher weight classes, brain damage will never be a problem.
Although hitting the heavy bag does build muscle, that isn't to say 'don't lift', to get any significant increase in mass, lifting is always needed.
