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.World Boxing Organisation super-middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe could be out of action until October following an operation on his right wrist. It ends his hopes of defending his title against former World Boxing Council champion Robin Reid in Cardiff this summer. Meanwhile, Calzaghe yesterday won his appeal against a British Boxing Board of Control ruling that insisted he pay former managers Mickey Duff and Terry Lawless 25 per cent of his future purses. Calzaghe's managerial contract with the duo is null and void. Calzaghe's fine and Warren's reprimand have also been quashed.
Brighton's Scott Welch is set for a third attempt at the European heavyweight title on 22 August. Welch, the former World Boxing Organisation title challenger, will meet Germany's Axel Schulz for the vacant crown in Hamburg.
