All fighters get the Fighting Style feature at 1st level. A Champion fighter also gets a second fighting style at 10th level.

Can 2 different martial fighting styles be used together at the same time? For example, if a Champion fighter had the Protection and Defense fighting styles, would they gain the benefits of both?

Yes

Quoting from the Sage Advice Compendium:

Can a fighter have two fighting styles active at once? Dueling and Defense, for example. You can benefit from more than one Fighting Style option at a time, as long as they don’t have conflicting requirements, as Dueling and Great Weapon Fighting do.

The requirements for Defense and Protections are wearing armour and wielding a shield, which are decidedly not conflicting.
