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.

Danny Williams, from Brixton, has been being given another date for his British heavyweight title challenge fight against Julius Francis. The bout has been postponed twice - Francis had a virus, then Williams sustained a cut eyebrow - and has been rescheduled for 3 April in Bethnal Green, London.

Derek Roche and Charlie Kane will fight for the vacant British welterweight title on the undercard of Naseem Hamed's meeting with Paul Ingle in Manchester on 10 April. Kane, from Scotland, will be making his second attempt to win a British title after losing a light-welterweight fight to Ross Hale in 1995. Roche, from Leeds, is unbeaten in 20 fights.
