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.

KSI and Logan Paul met in London today for the second press conference of their promotional tour for their upcoming rematch.

In the first bout, records were broken as the pair of YouTubers - and at the time, amateur boxers, fought to a majority draw in an evening dubbed the “Biggest Internet Event in History”.

After an interesting first press conference where bizarre insults were traded, the second was even crazier. More than 3,000 fans descended into the Troxy as the pair traded verbal blows and fans all around were screaming in excitement.

Watch it back or look over all the updates from the day.
