Gripping exercises, like repetitively squeezing a racquet ball.
Wrist curls with weights (as suggested above).
There just aren't a lot of exercises to strengthen the wrist. These will help a lot if you do them regularly.
Be sure to use handwraps when hitting the heavy bag and when sparring to avoid wrist sprain injury. Most sporting goods stores sell reusable handwraps made by Everlast that work extremely well. I have had two pair for more than 20 years. YES! I do wash them.

Try greco roman wrestling a night or two a week. Because it is all upper body and hand control you get very strong forearms very quickly. Also big meaty hands like a tradesman. I am international level competitor and we get guys from other styles like judo, freestyle, kungfu and mma training with us to develope arm strength.
Most of the other suggestions here are good. Particularly JimR's.
Other ideas are rope climbing and reverse curls. Also if you can use the thickest bar possible to lift normal weights whenever you do them. Or put a thick layer of dense foam around the grips, it forces your hands and forearms to work harder by gripping a wider object anytime you do an exercise.

There is an exercise used in eagle claw kung fu where you hold a staff from one end, hold it straight out from your body so its pointing to your left/right. Then rotate your wrist (not using anything but your outermost forarm) in a semi-circle with the staff let it hit the ground on the other side and rotate it back. If this method is unlear to you tell me and I'll describe it clearer. As you get stronger use heavier longer staffs

Wrist curls for wrist
Also a homemade short piece of broomstick,
one yard or so 3/16" rope with weight.
Crank it up(wind it up) and wind back down,Slowly
Do this with arms "Extended"
Helps a great deal with fore arms,as well as wrist

The best way to get this result is to practice tiger claw push-ups aka (Five Finger Tip Push-ups). This is Chinese Shaolin Kung Fu technique. Good Luck.

Squeeze a stress ball, or a device like it.
