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.Nick Blackwell says he has been in the "toughest fight of his life" after waking from an induced coma.
The 25-year-old life has spoken publicly for the first time since being taken to hospital following his British middleweight title defeat to Chris Eubank Jr last month.
The Trowbridge boxer suffered a bleed on the skull following the loss at Wembley Arena.
In a message posted on his brother Daniel's Facebook account, Blackwell thanked everyone who had supported him over the past couple of weeks.
He wrote: "Just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has been there for me, all my friends and family, those who wished me well and those who raised money for me.
"I feel truly blessed and have massive love for you all. I couldn't have done it without you.
"It's been the toughest fight of my life and you all have made it that bit easier.
"On to rehab now, progress is getting better by the day. Big love to you all, Nick"
