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

Naseem Hamed has agreed to take second billing to Mike Tyson when the former undisputed heavyweight champion makes his comeback against Peter McNeeley in Las Vegas on 19 August. Hamed's opponent for his American debut has yet to be confirmed but he defends his World Council international super-bantamweight title against the Colombian, Juan Polo- Perez, at the Royal Albert Hall on 1 July.

Steve Collins' re-match with Chris Eubank for the World Organisation super-middleweight title has been delayed as the Irishman has damaged a finger. They were due to meet on 29 July but now the fight is not expected to take place until the end of August in Dublin.
