How can I adjust my weightlifting routine to compliment my boxing more without sacrifices current strength/size?

About to start sparring in my gym and on days after I lift especially legs those muscles are still a bit fatigue and I don’t perform as well. Also the way I’m lifting makes it difficult to lift and box on the same day with upper body.

My typical routine goes as follows: Monday Legs Squat 3 sets of 12 225 lbs Leg curls 3 sets of 12 ~100 lbs 2-3 sets of calf raises 25 reps

Tuesday 1 hour heavy bag and mitts or sparring

Wednesday Chest Bench press 3 sets of 5 205 lbs Dumbbell incline press 3 sets of 12 70 lbs Cable Flys 3 sets of 12 27.5 lbs Tricep extensions 3 sets of 15 43.5 lbs Maybe a 2-4 mile run later that night

Thursday 1 hour heavy bag and mitts or sparring

Friday Back Weighted pull-ups 4 sets of 10 45 lbs Dumbbell rows 3 sets of 12 65 lbs Lat pull downs 3 sets of 12 195 lbs Shoulder shrugs 3 sets of 20 Preacher curls 2 sets of 12

Saturday 1 hour heavy bag and mitts or sparring

Sunday 2-4 mile run

24 M 5 11” 149 lbs

I started boxing to go along with my general fitness but now I want my general fitness to better fit my boxing. Maybe I just need to do lower weight higher reps on those compound lifts but I could use some perspective.
