(Adds details, background) By Larry Fine NEW YORK, April 25 (Reuters) – Wladimir Klitschko of Ukraine successfully defended his world heavyweight boxing title for the 18th time in a row with a unanimous points decision over American Bryant Jennings at Madison Square Garden on Saturday. The 39-year-old Klitschko, who tied heavyweight legend Joe Lewis in contesting the 27th heavyweight title fight of his career, improved to 64-3. Jennings, 30, fell to 19-1. Klitschko relied on his heavy jab to pile up points against Jennings, 30, who scored with digging rights into the ribs of the Ukrainian when the champion clinched, and caught him a few times with leaping left-hand leads.
