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.Chris Eubank Jr and Gary 'Spike' O'Sullivan's weigh in ahead of their WBA middleweight eliminator tomorrow night ended in dramatic scenes.
During the heated stare-off after they had both weighed in, O'Sullivan goaded Eubank by planting a kiss on his opponent (watch video below).
The weigh in started in memorable fashion too, Eubank Sr dancing on the stage, before his son came in slightly overweight. He eventually made it at the second time of asking as he only had to lose a few ounces.
But this is not the first time O'Sullivan has given his opponent a cheeky peck at the weigh in. He did the same before his fight against Anthony Fitzgerald in 2014. O'Sullivan's wind-up tactic worked on that occassion - he won with a first round knock-out in that bout.
Eubank is the favourite going in to tomorrow night's contest. Both fighters have only lost once, and both to the same man, Billy Joe Saunders.
The bout is on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs Dillian Whye at the o2 Arena in London.
