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.

WAYNE MCCULLOUGH, the 34-year-old from Belfast, believes he can finally realise his dream of becoming a two-time world champion when he challenges Oscar Larios for the WBC super-bantamweight title tomorrow evening in California.

Since winning the WBC bantamweight title in 1995, McCullough has lost super-bantamweight title challenges to Mexicans Daniel Zaragoza and Erik Morales, and WBO featherweight bouts to Naseem Hamed and to Scott Harrison.

"He won't know what hit him," McCullough said yesterday. "He's a good champion but he's not in the class of Hamed, Morales or Zaragoza and I gave them all hard fights. It's the last chance for me and I intend to get that second world title I have always dreamed about."
