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.

CHRIS EUBANK, of Brighton, will challenge Ilford's Nigel Benn for his World Boxing Council's super-middleweight title on 9 October, assuming Benn stages a successful defence against Lou Gent, of Streatham, at London's Olympia on Saturday.

EAMONN LOUGHRAN'S Commonwealth welterweight title defence against Tony Swift has been called off again. The Ballymena fighter should have met Swift in a rescheduled bout at London's Grosvenor House next Tuesday, but he is still troubled by hand and back injuries. Francis Ampofo, the British flyweight champion from Bethnal Green, will now top the bill at Grosvenor House: he contests the vacant Commonwealth title against Zambia's Albert Musankabala.
