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.Wladimir Klitschko will be aiming for his 50th career knockout when he defends his world heavyweight titles against French challenger Jean-Marc Mormeck tonight.
Klitschko is a big favorite to retain the WBA, IBF and WBO titles. He is 6in taller, has a 7in reach advantage and is four years younger than the 39-year-old Frenchman. Yet Klitschko says the Guadeloupe-born Mormeck is "very experienced" and "his size makes it even more difficult for me to hit him".
"It's so difficult to fight a smaller guy because usually they are faster physically," Klitschko said. "This is why I'm expecting a tough challenge, at least in the beginning of the fight."
