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.

Joe Bugner's wish to fight Scott Welch for the Commonwealth heavyweight title in March has been refused. The Commonwealth Council have not listed Bugner, 46 in March, among their contenders after watching a video of his comeback fight against Vince Cervi last September, which won him the Australian title. If Bugner does not fight for that title Frank Warren, negotiating the Welch-Bugner fight, will arrange a fight for Welch's World Council international belt. If Bugner is not cleared by the British Board of Control for that bout, Warren is prepared to move the fight to the Republic of Ireland.
