Most of the training boxers do is aerobic... Running, rope skipping, etc. This to build endurance so they can "go the distance"... Fight at a good level of intensity through all the rounds.
There is a great deal of skill training as well... The mechanics of punching, throwing combinations, bobbing and weaving and deflections, how to handle clinches, footwork... All the basic mechanics of the sport.
Working the heavy bag does indeed develop a bit of upper-body musculature, but most fighters these days do supplemental weight work in addition to all the other training.
The big problem with boxing is head trauma. Even at an amateur level, with big gloves and headgear, the danger of concussion and knockout is ever-present.
And extremely damaging.
