Bowe lowers sights
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.Riddick Bowe has held all versions of the world championship but his immediate career is now set on a non-title course.
Having handed back the World Boxing Organisation heavyweight title he won from Norwich's Herbie Hide 15 months ago, Bowe is to meet Poland's Andrew Galota in New York on 11 July.
And victory against the medallist at the Barcelona Olympics medalist could lead Bowe to a fight against another former WBO champion, Ray Mercer, whose career has been revitalised by his storming but unsuccessful performance against Lennox Lewis last month.
London's Henry Akinwande, meanwhile, will meet the Russian southpaw Alexander Zolkin for the vacant WBO title in Palm Springs on 29 June - and if Akinwande wins, the promoter Frank Warren wants to set up an all British title fight with Scott Welch.
