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.

Lennox Lewis yesterday won a temporary High Court order preventing the World Boxing Council from sanctioning a heavyweight title bout between Frank Bruno and Mike Tyson.

Lewis, the former champion, issued a writ preventing Bruno making his first defence against Mike Tyson two days ago. The court ordered Lewis's injunction against the WBC should stand until Thursday's full hearing.

Lewis beat Lionel Butler in an eliminator which his handlers say earned him first shot at the title. Frank Warren, Bruno's promoter, will fight the injunction.
