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.

Mickey Duff has opened negotiations with Don King to secure Richie Woodhall, the European middleweight champion, a world title fight in Las Vegas next March. Quincy Taylor, the World Council's middleweight champion, has been ordered to defend his title against Woodhall by 17 March, and Woodhall hopes it will be part of the undercard to Frank Bruno's world heavyweight title defence against Mike Tyson on 16 March.

Johnny Armour, from Chatham, produced a devastating body punch to retain his European bantamweight title at York Hall, Bethnal Green, last night. The 27-year-old knocked out France's Redha Abbas with two seconds remaining of the fifth round. His next target is a challenge for the International Federation title held by South Africa's Mbulela Botile.
