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.Newly crowned world heavyweight champion David Haye is confident a broken hand won't endanger his first defence against John Ruiz.
Haye broke a bone in his right hand in the early stages of his points victory over Nikolai Valuev on Saturday when he captured the WBA title in Nuremberg, Germany.
The British fighter said today he will need to wait until the fracture heals before he can train for a fight against mandatory challenger Ruiz. That fight will probably take place in London around March next year.
Haye said Ruiz badly cut his forehead fighting on the undercard on Saturday and the American would be in no rush to get the fight on early.
Haye described Ruiz as experienced, tough and durable but predicted he would knock him out.
