There are anger management programs that your boyfriend could participate in, in your city, to help him determine the root cause of his anger problems. That will benefit both him, and you in your relationship. Otherwise, if left unchecked, his anger problem will only get worse and continue to interfere with your relationship with your family, your friends, etc.,.

His type of anger is most closely described as overwhelmed anger. The same stimuli can cause him to be angry one day and not angry a week later. If he is overwhelmed with life's stressors he is more likely to get angry. What do you know about this specific type of anger?
He can also be passive in the way that his anger typically looks like whithdral- the silent treatment, not wanting to do anything. It typically lasts for several hours.
He has said that his anger has improved over time already. Do you believe that it would only get worse if he does not actively try to work on it? As opposed to staying the same.
