I would confine him to a room, with a baby gate, and work, slowly with him.
No more animal visitors, etc. Positve reinforcement. Each time he is gentle, reward him with a treat and praise. I would only hand-fee him. this way, he learns, all his food, comes from you. When he tries to take the food from your hand, warn him gently, "No bite".

Often times, two males cannot co-exist in the household. He was there first, Mr. Boxer may need to go......

I really like the suggestion of handfeeding him only and confining him to a room. I bet that will help to gain some control over his behaviour.
