Calisthenics/Bodyweight Exercising?

I do bodyweight training (no weights at all) for my all round muscular conditioning (endurance, strength, power). I am following the way they do it in prison with supersets, for example say you can only physically do 100 push ups non stop, you say 4 sets of 30 push ups, or 6 sets of 20 etc. But obviously overtime you will be doing many more. But in your opinion would be this good for martial arts and boxing. In my opinion it would 100% suitable you gain great strength from superset calisthenics and impeccable endurance, I can't see why it wouldn't be perfect for combat training. For one example I am reading one of the many biographies on Mike Tyson and he set a goal every morning in prison of doing 500 push ups, also all the old timers like Sugar Ray Robinson, Rocky Marciano, Jack Dempsey, Joe Frazier all did bodyweight exercising but I can never find how many sets and reps they did. I mean you think you would always increase the sets and reps if you want to improve. Also Mike Tyson only started to lift weights once he got in prison he never did them before that.
The question was if supersets in my calisthenics workout is a good idea if you don't think it is what do the old timer boxers do?
