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.

The purse offer deadline for Lennox Lewis's mandatory World Council title defence against London's Florida-based Henry Akinwande has been brought forward from 9 April to 17 March. The change was made at the request of Lewis's British promoter, Panos Eliades, to speed up the staging of the fight.

November Ntshingila, the world-ranked South African featherweight, fought for the final six rounds with only one hand yesterday but still scored a unanimous 10-round points decision over the Mexican Antonio Hernandez. Ntshingila dislocated his right shoulder after four rounds of the international bout and was forced to rely on his left jab for the remainder of the bout.
