I am about to get the chance of training with a world class boxer and I just want to know how to get in good enough shape. (To be honest if I had my way I would be in the same shape he is in) I am sure that if he thinks I suck or am not good enough he wont really want to train with me.
I just want to know what kind of workout regimen do Pro athletes follow? I know it's not likely but I want to get in incredible shape in 6-12 weeks and am willing to do basically anything to get there.

To be honest, I would only be concerned with my stamina if I were you.
Conditioning is the key here. You can't train/learn anything if you aren't even in shape to go through the reps. needed to get to or come close to that pro's level in any sport so I feel conditioning/stamina is the key.
Get up early and get your miles in dude. Then go to the gym and do punch outs (hit the heavy bag as many times as you can in under a minute then do it again and again) , so your arms won't get heavy when he comes in b/c I'm sure he's not going to hold back.
The last thing you want to do is be barely hold your own because you are tired, so you might as well torture yourself now.
I would say: Get your miles in, Hit the J.Ropes..etc. get your normal bag work in..etc. add in the punch outs to go ahead and prepare yourself in case you have to slug it out from time to time (mentally you'll already be there from your training so it won't be a big deal)
6-12 weeks is enough time. Eat right drink your water..etc.

Go to a lesser boxer or any regular club nearby and train with them 5 days a week for the next 6-12 weeks. That will get you as fit as you are going to get in that time.
The best reason is most people find it hard to stick to any loing hard training program by themsleves anyway.
So you do the first thing a pro does and surrounds himself with the support he needs to acheive the goal.

I strongly agree with JB. Focus on your stamina. The things he mentioned should be good enough. Don't go overboard trying to impress this boxer, before hooking up with him, because you may end up doing some crazy routine that he wouldn't have you do at all.
