The APBC is a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) through which the Commissions that regulate the Sport of Professional Boxing World-wide are able to cooperate and discuss, as well as introduce regulations for the betterment of the Sport and those that compete, especially within the realms of Licensing and Medical Standards, Ringside Health & Safety, Sanctioning and Competition Rules & Regulations.
