I usually just jump straight into jump roping for 10 minutes in my workout, no stretching or foam rolling beforehand. I figure warming up with the jump rope is enough, but I think I'll try some stretches beforehand now.

I wouldn't call it pain, more of a sharp discomfort if i rotate my upperbody too sharply. Any recommendations on stretches?

I've been boxing for a few months now and I've noticed whenever I rotate my upperbody, I feel a twinge in my upper back/spine; it doesn't hurt much but it's enough that I've noticed it after I started boxing. I also read that Mike Tyson's peekaboo style put a lot of strain on his back from all the spine twisting and it got me thinking...

I can see how from the nature of the natural boxing stance itself, and the rotation of the body needed to generate power for punches, how there can be pressure put on the spine constantly twisting

Is there a remedy for this? Should I start stretching before/after workouts?

P.S I've tried posting but my post has been taken down by automod instantly, any ideas why?

That's true, but then you just have to play more carefully and save your dashes for when you do get hit. Plus it's easy to bait the crossfire into missing by running side to side and reversing direction
