Regular brushing should certainly help, as would a premium quality food (or a natural diet). I don't know what you currently feed him, but you might find our page about how to choose a good quality dry dog food helpful: www.boxerworld.com/feeding Likewise, supplements such as eggs, flaxseed or fish oil and things like missing link can be useful.
Other than that, boxers are just a breed of dog that sheds. That can be seasonal to some extent - and it can be reduced through regular brushing and diet - but there's nothing that will eliminate shedding completely.

How old is your pup? Did you just change food? I know food has a lot to do with shedding.

My pup is 5 months also. You didn't indicate which line of Nutro you are feeding. If you are not already I would suggest switching to Nutro's ULTRA ( rated in the Whole Dog Journals 2005 survey as a premium kibble and meets the guidelines on this website) line for puppies. We have been feeding Kona this since she was 7 weeks old and she loves it. Everyone comments on how shiny her coat is. She hardly sheds also. I have not had any need to brush her since we have gotten her.
How often do you bathe her? If you do it more than once a month she may have dry skin.
