Joe Brolly saluted Ukrainian boxer Vasyl Lomachenko for choosing the 'hero's way' to enlist in the army and defend his country from a Russian invasion.
The former three-weight world champion is defending his country after Vladimir Putin's forces launched a deadly assault last Thursday as Ukraine defend major cities such as Kyiv and Kharkiv from a Russian onslaught.
Former heavyweight stars Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko, the latter being the current mayor of Kyiv, have also taken up arms to defend their country while Alexander Usyk has returned to the country to join the fight.
