The main problem would probably consist with the forms of Wing Chun. Boxing is a formless fighting style. Many of the techniques of Wing Chun are done in specific stances, or forms, while Boxing techniques are more .
The are many aspects in the forms.... the forms teach a few techniques, ideas-principles, they also build up your body and developp usefull skills. Forms are only training tools, you are not supposed to fight using exactly the techniques of the forms. That won't probably work....

Some of the techniques of the forms are ideal techniques... this doesn't mean they won't work if you don't apply them exactly that way.... sparring and chi sao will teach that...

other are techniques that allow you to recover if you commit mistakes during a fight.... that means you shouldn't use these techniques in the first place!

Our school offers wing chun and san-shou classes and mixing both arts works quite well....
