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.

Paul Lloyd, the European bantamweight champion, must make a mandatory defence of his title against Johnny Bredahl of Denmark, before 28 February next year.

Charlie Kane of Clydebank will defend his International Boxing Organisation Intercontinental welterweight title against London's Bernard Paul in Glasgow on 25 January.

Jane Couch, Britain's only licensed woman boxer, will have her next fight at Middlesbrough on 20 February. Her opponent will be the American Lisa Ested, the International Women's Boxing Federation Welterweight Champion. Top of the bill will be Cornelius Carr's attempt to take the World Boxing Federation middleweight title from Simon Brown of America.
