What gear do you need to get started in boxing:

Hand wraps, mouthpiece - if you intend on sparring.
Bag gloves, boxing-shoes (optional).
Jump-rope (usually supplied by gymnasium) if sparring, headgear/foul-protector.
Also common sense gym attire!

What’s a good heavy bag routine for beginners:

Start with one hand only! (the jab) strengthen and refine it. Throw single, double and triple jabs. Throw to the body (move them up and down). When comfortable and confident move to the right hand (straight rights) also to the body. Then incorporate jab/straight rights 1-2 or 2-1 or 1-2-1 or 2-1-2 or 1-1,b-1 or 1,b-1-1,b.

What’s a good home boxing workout:

Shadowboxing and abdominal work can be done at home successfully.

What’s a good Speed bag routine for beginners:

Strike the bag at chin height, punching through the bag and keeping your hands up the entire time. Left hits only! Right hits only! Left and right hits!

Over-under technique:
Strike the bag with your fist below the pinky finger, turn and roll your hand over and strike the bag backhand (over-under).

Amateur boxing routine:
Bag work (all bags), roping, sparring, drills, roadwork and Abs. Also, any specific need of the fighter - you may have to address.

Optional:
(plyometrics).

Pro boxing routine:
Same as amateur except more intense and vigorous. With the addition of more strategies, diet and nutrition.

Cardio routine:
Alternate between shadow boxing for long periods, jumping rope, sprinting, long runs and plyometrics
