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.

David Haye was due to challenge Mark Hobson in Huddersfield on 14 October for the British and Commonwealth cruiserweight titles but Hobson developed shingles and has pulled out.

Late on Monday night Graham Earl's challenge for the vacant European lightweight title against Yuri Romanov, of Belarus, scheduled for York Hall in London's East End this Friday, was also scrapped when Earl damaged a rib.

Both fights were due to be screened live by Sky, which has dropped this week's broadcast, but have not made a decision on any of the proposed opponents for Haye and the planned fight in Huddersfield.
