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.

Thailand's offer to stage a Mike Tyson heavyweight fight has been dealt a blow by the former world champion's cash demands. Chaowarin Latthasaksiri, the Thai government's deputy education minister, returned from negotiations with Don King, Tyson's promoter, in Las Vegas to reveal that the fight would cost pounds 40m. Chaowarin said he was authorised to offer around pounds 33m.

Eight of England's 10-strong amateur team for the European championships will face South Africa at the Royal Lancaster Hotel next Monday. The exceptions from the European line-up, picked to compete in Vejle, Denmark, from 29 March to 8 April, are the middleweight Steve Rendall and the heavyweight Fola Okesola. England must reach the quarter-final stage to stand a chance of Olympic selection.
