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.

Carl Froch has admitted he fears another judging controversy when he faces Andre Ward in the Super Six final in Atlantic City on Saturday. Last weekend Amir Khan claimed poor refereeing cost him against Lamont Peterson in the American's home city of Washington DC.

"It's always a concern," Nottingham's Froch said. "I'm fighting an American in America. He's an Olympic gold medallist, he's the golden boy, he's undefeated, he's a great talent. He's young, he's good-looking, he speaks well – he's all the marketable things that a broadcaster like Showtime wants."

David Haye still expects to face Vitali Klitschko even though the Ukrainian has announced a fight against Dereck Chisora. "I can wait as long as it takes. [Klitschko] is 40 at the moment, I've just turned 31. If he was to leave it five years that's fine by me," Haye said.
