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.

Dave Tiberi has sued the International Boxing Federation, Trump Taj Mahal Association, ABC Sports Inc and others, including two fight judges, for damages and a reversal of a 1992 decision. Tiberi alleges the defendants 'sabotaged' his fight in 1992 with James Toney for the IBF middleweight title. The lawsuit claims the IBF appointed two 'fraudulently biased judges' who, because of alleged loyalty to the defending champion, scored the fight in his favour.
