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.

CHRIS PYATT took less than a round to retain his World Boxing Organisation middleweight title at Brentwood last night. The 30-year-old from Leicester knocked out South Africa's Mark Cameron with two rights to the head.

The first stopped the challenger in his tracks, giving Pyatt, in his 45th professional fight, time to measure the second, seconds from the end of what had been a quiet opener. Cameron never looked like beating the count.

Pyatt, six years older than the challenger, who had started brightly enough by throwing the left jab and right cross, is now lined up to face his stablemate Steve Collins in a big-money match in April.
