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.PJ Gallagher successfully defended his British super-featherweight championship against Charles Shepherd on Saturday night when he won the fight by half a point.
His trainer, Colin Wilson, said afterwards that he agonised as he watched the bout, especially when an exhausted Gallagher was floored by a short right in the 12th yet somehow reached the final bell to take the decision by 117 points to 1161/2.
"The performance was excellent, but as for the fight, it was horrible to watch," Wilson said. "That's three of those this year. He's going to have a hell of a rest. All I want to see this kid do is win a Lonsdale Belt outright, make a million quid then get out."
