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.FOLLOWING the derided dispatch of the 36-year-old Jesse Ferguson, the handlers of Frank Bruno have decided to go on to higher things, if not in class then in age. Bruno, whose credibility, unlike the American, took severe punishment in Birmingham on Wednesday night, could next be trading punches with George Foreman, who at 45 is the pensioner of the heavyweight division.
It is the way of boxing that the 142-second farce involving Bruno, 32, and Ferguson at the National Exhibition Centre will not have affected the bankability of Mickey Duff's man. Duff estimates that Bruno v Foreman, which has a good chance of being staged in England in May and beamed to America for pay-per-view television, could gross between pounds 5.5m- pounds 6.8m.
