Going abit lighter on weight lifting

So I am thinking of going a bit lighter on the weights as I box at the same time and I found doing both heavy lifting and boxing really taxes me and I cant seem to recover quick enough, Would doing let's say moderate weight be enough to maintain my physique/mass?

Probably yes. You don't need to train at "high" intensities to make gains. Weights in the region of 70-80% of 1RM are perfectly sufficient to make good gains - the key is that you need to get in enough volume.
