KPBC is mandated to manage professional boxing in Kenya, train and accredit coaches and match officials.

As a result, some of the professional boxers live in deplorable conditions, while others are facing serious health issues. It also manages and regulates promoters, identifies and brings on board partners and sponsors as well as set up and maintain existing professional boxing facilities.
