Me and my friend are having a debate about when you can get and how many epic boons you can get.
He says thanks to the way they've worded the prerequisites for the epic boons, if you level up at level 19 and 20 with a multiclass levels that gets you a feat (eg. 12/8) you can get two Epic Boons but i pointed out if that my interpretation of the features list at the class's page it specifically states that you need to get to Lv 19 in a single class to get a epic boon.
Has there been any clarification from WoTC, and if not what is your interpretation?
To me knowledge, WoTC has clarified nothing on the subject.
My interpretation is that Epic Boon feat's prerequisit are based on total character level 19+. For example, a Fighter 18/Rogue 1 is a level 19 character with 305,000+ XP and +6 Proficiency Bonus. Tier of Play briefly touches on Epic Boon feat, a level 18 Fighter that gain a level in Rogue as Character Advancement is Level 19.
If you’re instructed to choose a feat and no category is specified, you can choose from any category. But to take a feat, you must meet any prerequisite in its description unless a feature allows you to take the feat without the prerequisite.
So a Fighter 16 / Rogue 4 freshly leveling upon gaining the Ability Score Improvement feature could choose an Epic Boon feat because he qualify being level 20. The prerequisit of Epic Boon feats is not the Epic Boon feature as opposed to Fighting Style feats that have Fighting Style feature as prerequisit for example.
The rules provide an example where taking one feat of their choice can be an Epic Boon feat, meaning Epic Boon feats don't necessarily need to be granted by the Epic Boon feature.
Bonus Feats at Level 20: A DM can use feats as a form of advancement after characters reach level 20 to provide greater power to characters who have no more levels to gain. With this approach, each character gains one feat of their choice for every 30,000 XP the character earns above 355,000 XP. Epic Boon feats are especially appropriate for these bonus feats, but a player can choose any feat for which their level 20 character qualifies.

I agree with @Plaguescarred
We had a long discussion in a different thread (A question regarding the Epic Boon Feats), but the consensus seems to be that one.
