They should be introduced gradually - perhaps with sniffing though an open window with a screen in place first. After that you can have a few face to face meetings, but the dog should be kept on a leash during that time. Otherwise the animals need to be kept separated in the house. If the cat seems vicious, then put it in a carrier and let the dog sniff around the cat.



Keep their meetings short and have plenty of high places the cat can jump or climb to. It may take a long time to get them totally used to each other. Do not allow them to be together unsupervised for at least several months.



Be sure the boxer you get has been raised with cats or is known to get along with cats. Dogs who are not used to cats can be dangerous.
