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.AN announcement is expected this week that Lennox Lewis, the WBC heavyweight champion, will fight Frank Bruno at a major outdoor venue in September. First, the pair must win their next assignments - Lewis in the first defence of his title against Tony Tucker in Las Vegas on 8 May, and Bruno in his bout with Carl 'The Truth' Williams at Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre on 24 April. Lewis's manager Frank Maloney and Bruno's promoter Mickey Duff met at a London hotel yesterday to discuss the possibility of staging the fight at Wembley stadium or, perhaps, Old Trafford.
LLOYD HONEYGHAN is to fight the former World Boxing Association light- middleweight champion, Vinny Pazienza, on 26 June in Atlantic City.
