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.Chris Eubank's ambitious promotional debut in Cairo has been hailed as "mission accomplished" by a leading member of the British Boxing Board of Control.
Simon Block, the assistant secretary, said: "Sections of the British press felt it would never come off. We were asked to assist and said we would subject to a number of conditions. All of those were met by the Egyptians." Block was less complimentary about Eubank's comeback opponent, the barrel-like Luis Barrera: "The fight was more of an exhibition than a contest."
Eubank's return from his year-long retirement ended 42 seconds into the fifth round with a right-hand punch to the Argentinian's rib cage.
