Boxing is said to have originated as part of the Sumerian civilization as a martial art of attacking and counter-attacking from the dawn of human history.  This argument is corroborated by Sumerian engravings from the third millennium.  From Ethiopia, to Egypt, and from there through Greece to Mesopotamia in the east and Rome in the north, the first form of boxing came and then spread throughout the world.

1968 Kerala State Boxing Association came into existence with headquarters in Kollam.  Boxing has become widespread in Kerala through many competitions, thousands of students and hundreds of training centers.  It is true that success in boxing has indirectly permeated the lives of many people through grace marks, university admissions and job prospects.  But tens of thousands of sweaty boxers still take off their gloves in desperation.  Exceeding the age limit and failing has eliminated their career prospects.

 In a state like Kerala where unemployment is most affected, earning an income through his martial arts, which one likes, would be the greatest satisfaction.  Kerala Boxing Council gives importance to that.  The first mission of the KBC is to bring the youth to a position where his own martial art, which he has been carrying forward for many years, can earn him an income.

KBC's activities are  in a  centralised manner where State body will directly organise selection trials for state events where ever district counterparts are not appointed. All sports lovers who go through selection trials will be registered as a professional boxer with a state level ranking based on their individual performance.  Roll of the appointed District Council  will be to assist State Council in organising various local events. Pay back to such district counterparts will be done in the form of price money or other financial aid to promote its enlisted professional players through various forms of  sponsorships.

In the next stage, contestants enter the state level where districts compete against each other.  Compared to the district level, more facilities can be provided at the state level and the prize money can be increased from 50,000 to lakhs. It should be remembered here that there are already many national level fighters who are charging lakhs per match.

At the state level, the potential of media publicity will be utilized to find the best sponsors and through them provide opportunities for better training.  movie sector, celebrities, news channels, big sports equipment companies, etc. will bring the fighters to great financial opportunities.  Other states observing the growth of a state will no doubt follow the same path.
