Like all Olympic boxing events, the 2d Games of Central Africa competition was a straight single-elimination tournament. This event consisted of 18 boxers who have qualified for the competition through various qualifying tournaments held in 1981 in Angola. The competition began with a preliminary round on 20 August, where the number of competitors was reduced to 6, and concluded with the final on 3 September 1981. As there were fewer than 18 boxers in the competition, a number of boxers received a bye through the preliminary round. Both semi-final losers were awarded bronze medals.

All bouts consisted of three rounds of three minutes each, with one-minute breaks between rounds. Punches scored only if the white area on the front of the glove made full contact with the front of the head or torso of the opponent. Five judges scored each bout; three of the judges had to signal a scoring punch within one second for the punch to score. The winner of the bout was the boxer who scored the most valid punches by the end of the bout.
