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.

n Although I was the best heavyweight you have had here and [Henry] Cooper wasn't fit to walk in my shadow, I have never been accepted. Joe Bugner, former British and European heavyweight champion, on the comeback trail.

I give him a clubber's chance. He is an expert rabbit-puncher, so one of those punches may come through and he may get lucky. Lennox Lewis on Frank Bruno's chances of holding on to his World Boxing Council title.

What matters is that he's so big now, so massive I can't miss him and I'll be throwing punches with bad intention. That puts Frank in a no-win situation. Mike Tyson.

The ball seemed to run for me and towards me. I had a game the like of which only comes along once in a blue moon. Dean Richards, England's inspiration against Scotland in the Five Nations' Championship last Saturday.

In the first half, Man United were hammered 0-0. Kevin Keegan, Newcastle United manager, reflects on what might have been in the crucial Premiership match which Newcastle lost 1-0.

All I can say is that I tried to bring the match to a conclusion. I hope he wins again, maybe as big an amount. Referee Marcello Cardona who abandoned an Italian Second Division match in the 89th minute, resulting in a punter just failing to win a 12 billion lire fortune on the national pools system.

The League could not promote blanket sales in Alaska. Ken Arthurson, the Australian Rugby League chairman, dismisses proposals by the British Rugby League to run Super League in Australia.

I wouldn't treat my dog the way I have been treated. People have been laying the blame at my door for everything, from the washing machine breaking down to me supposedly demanding half a million pounds each week. Striker Steve Claridge's parting shot at Birmingham after finally completing his on-off pounds 1.2m move to Leicester.
