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.LENNOX LEWIS will be stripped of the European heavyweight championship at 5.0pm today unless a letter from his manager, Frank Maloney, persuades the European Boxing Union to put back the 31 October deadline for his compulsory title defence against London's Henry Akinwande. Lewis is already committed to a world title eliminator against Razor Ruddock, of the United States, at Earl's Court on Hallowe'en Night.
PAT BARRETT, of Manchester, will fight for the first time since his points defeat in July by Manning Galloway, the World Boxing Organisation light-welterweight champion, against Mexico's Cirilo Nino at Olympia, London on 26 September.
