    Who decides which organisation a boxer fights in ,why are boxers ranked in one organisation but not in others .How does it work ,if a new boxer was to start what determines which organisation he ends up fighting for?

    Harry's Potter's got it covered (little known fact, the Harry Potter books were written as an extended metaphor for the life of a young boxer):

    The Sorting Hat [Glove] is a sapient artefact used at Hogwarts [The Boxing Hall of Fame], which uses the ability to read minds to determine which of the four school houses [Sanctioning Bodies] – Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin [WBO, WBA, IBF, or WBC]– each new student [boxer] is to be assigned. The hat [Glove] resembles a dilapidated conical leather wide brimmed wizards hat [boxing glove], with folds and tears that make it appear to have eyes and a mouth [be Michael Buffer]. During the opening banquet at the beginning of each school year, the Hat [Glove] is placed on every first-year student's [new pro’s] head [hand]. The Hat [Glove] announces its choice aloud, and the student [boxer] joins the selected house [sanctioning body].
