I’m not a huge boxing fan but i sometimes watch very hyped fights. And i saw that there are several federations (IBF, WBO, WBA…), each with it’s own belt. And i know that boxers fight in a weight category. How come that some boxers are only WBO champions and others hold belts from multiple federations?

Let’s say you were the IBF heavyweight champion. Then you decided to fight the WBA heavyweight champion and you beat him. Now you’re the heavyweight champion in both the IBF and WBA, so you’ve brought the two titles together on to one fighter. You’ve unified the titles.
