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

Lennox Lewis, no longer the No 1 challenger to the World Council champion, Frank Bruno, could fight Ray Mercer at New York City's Madison Square Garden in May. If the fight is confirmed, former heavyweight champions Evander Holyfield and Tim Witherspoon could appear in separate fights on the same bill.

Paul Ryan, the unbeaten British, Commonwealth and World Organisation inter-continental light-welterweight champion, is being lined up for a world title fight against WBO holder, Sammy Fuentes of Puerto Rico, but he must first make a successful third defence of the WBO title against Gene Reed, of the United States, at London Arena tomorrow.
