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.Amir Khan's appeal against his defeat by Lamont Peterson has been rejected by the International Boxing Federation, according to reports.
Peterson secured a controversial victory over Khan this month, claiming his IBF and WBA light-welterweight crowns, after the Bolton fighter twice suffered points deductions.
Khan heavily criticised referee Joe Cooper after the fight and his camp decided to appeal.
However, www.skysports.com quoted IBF championships chairman Lindsay Tucker as saying: "We found no discrepancies that would affect the outcome or the result of the fight."
A rematch between the pair is expected to take place next year.
