The Ukrainian Vladimir Klitschko retained his IBF title, WBA, WBO and IBO heavyweight by defeating the American points Bryant Jennings Saturday, April 25 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Klitschko was declared the winner by unanimous vote of three referees (116-111, 116-111, 118-109) to sign the 64th win of his career for three defeats.
He defended victoriously for the 18th consecutive time his world titles in the premier class and approaches the record of American legend Joe Louis (25 victorious battles to defend a world title).
The younger of the Klitschko brothers, aged 39, has inflicted their first defeat his opponent in twenty fights (19 wins, one loss). But Jennings, a native of Philadelphia, gave him a hard time, especially in the 6th and 9th occasions.
Klitschko could now try to unify the premier class with the WBC belt held by the American Deontay Wilder. The WBC belt has long been held by his older brother, Vitali, now retired from the ring for a political career that took him for mayor of Kiev, the Ukrainian capital.
