JAKARTA - In the past, Tyson Fury was the arch-rival of Wladimir Klitschko. The Briton beat Wladimir in Germany in 2015, ending the Ukrainian's reign as world heavyweight champion.

However, The Gypsy King - Fury's nickname - is now praising the younger Wladimir and his older brother Vitali for their role on the front lines in Ukraine's war with Russia.

Vitali has never fought Fury, but in his role as Mayor of Kyiv, he is heavily involved in efforts to repel invading Russian troops.

"Two laws, love your partner and fight for your country, so they have to fight for their country. Why not?", Fury stated to TMZ Sports quoted by Marca, Friday, March 4.

"What does money have to do with it? If you don't have a homeland to return to, the money is useless, you can't spend it.

"Keep fighting, comrades! Don't give up." Wladimir enlisted in the Ukrainian reserve army in Kyiv on Wednesday last week. For the love of the homeland, he wants to help defend Ukraine's independence.

Both Wladimir and his brother Vitali were present at the opening of the Regional Defense Forces recruitment center in the Ukrainian capital.
