Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

BOXING Frank Bruno's 13-year quest for the world heavyweight title is to take him to Shepton Mallet, Somerset, when he takes on Rodolpho Marin, a 30-year-old Puerto Rican, on 18 February.

The prize for Bruno, 33, is likely to be a fourth world title chance. Defeat, however, would herald the end of a 13-year professional career, Bruno, beaten by Tim Witherspoon, Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis in previous attempts, said: "I'm hungrier than ever - starving, even - for a world title. I know this will be my last chance. I can't afford any slip-up."

The World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Oliver McCall, who stopped Britain's Lennox Lewis in September, will defend his title against the 45-year-old Larry Holmes on 8 April at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
