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.

The British and Commonwealth champion Scott Harrison will fight the Argentinian holder, Julio Pablo Chacon, for the World Boxing Organisation featherweight title at Glasgow's Braehead Arena on 8 June.

The 24-year-old Scot from Cambuslang successfully defended his Commonwealth belt against the Australian Tony Wehbee in three rounds at the Kelvin Hall last month.

However, the 26-year-old Argentinian will be no pushover, having won 43 of his 45 professional fights, with 31 coming by way of knock-out.
