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.Scott Welch, who suffered an overwhelming points defeat in his unsuccessful World Boxing Organisation heavyweight title challenge against Henry Akinwande in Nashville last weekend, is being lined up to fight the big-punching South African Francois Botha on the under-card of a title defence by Michael Moorer, the International Boxing Federation heavyweight champion, in the United States in March.
Drew Docherty, the British bantamweight champion, has opted to fight on the undercard of a promotion in Glasgow following the collapse of his European title meeting with Johnny Bredahl after the Dane failed a drugs test. The 31-year-old will fight Lyndon Kershaw, from Halifax, on 27 January at the St Andrew's Sporting Club as part of the under-card for the vacant British flyweight championship contest between Keith Knox, of Bonnyrigg, and Adey Lewis from Bury.
Johnny Armour, from Chatham, continues his career with a challenge for the World Boxing Council international bantamweight championship at York Hall, Bethnal Green, on 29 January. Armour, 28, will meet the Willy Perdomo, of the Domincan Republic, in his second bout since being released from prison.
