Harrison's tougher challenge
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.Derek McCafferty, a plastic injection moulder from Kettering, has been selected from a cast of thousands to meet the Olympic gold medallist Audley Harrison at the Olympia Theatre in Liverpool on 14 July.
McCafferty has won twice, lost three times and has not fought since December 1999 but he is the type of fighter that Harrison should have met last month because he is big and can fight.
Last week Harrison's management team insisted the next opponent would have a winning record and would be foreign but for once their deception is welcome because McCafferty, who is trained by the experienced Kevin Sanders, has only lost to good fighters.
