Increasing the pain tolerance through strength training and other special training is important as well. Accept it, while the main concept of boxing "hit and not get hit", no matter how good you are, how quick you are, and how smart you are, you cannot escape the punches of your opponent. And since it is a given fact, all you have to do is to deal with it.
Pain tolerance may be one of the most difficult aspects in boxing training but it is one of the most useful when you step into the ring. And no matter how hard you curse your trainer while enduring all the pain at the gym, you will have to thank him once you have realized that you have actually survived the punches of your opponent.
Improve your defenses. I am sure you are familiar with the phrase, "the best offense is the best defense." There is no argument against it. In boxing, defense has 2 purposes, to avoid getting hit and to create an opportunity for a counter attack. Defense has to be either of the 2. If it is not, you are not defending at all.
Finally, focus. Mental training is as important as physical training. Focus allows you to concentrate, think and remain calm. There is no window for mistake. If you want to win, you have to work hard for it.
Your opponent will not give it to so fight once you hear the first bell until you hear the last.
