      The 5-0 fighter, 25, wrote: “My thoughts are with the people of Ukraine and Russia who are both going to suffer greatly from all of this mayhem.”
      Now he has taken a more humorous approach by sharing a fake fight poster advertising a showdown between him and Putin.
      Along with the poster of him and the 69-year-old Russian president, he wrote: “Big news.
      “Tickets on sale next week. #PaulPutin brought to you by @TimJDillon promotions.”
      There was a ‘Leave no doubt’ tagline at the top of the poster over a side-by-side snap of Paul and a topless Putin.
      And below them was text saying: “Coming soon, live on pay-per-view.”

      Ukrainian forces are reportedly seeking out separate Russian groups within the capital and the iconic brothers are doing their part in the fight.
      Vitali, 50, told Sky News that he and Wladimir, 45, “killed some people, I guess six people last night”.
      And the elder brother defiantly claimed they were “ready to die for their home” and showed no fear of Russian forces when talking to CNN.
      He said: “We’re not interested in how strong the Russian army is, we’re ready to fight.
      “And we’re ready to die for our home country and for our families because it’s our home.
      “It’s our future and somebody wants to come to our home and steal our future from us.”

      The ring legends recently sent out a video message asking for the international community to make a stand together against “Russian aggression”.
      Wladimir said: “I’m calling to all international partners to observe this tragedy that is happening nowadays in Ukraine and this senseless war which is not going to have any winners or losers.
      “I just want to tell you we must stay united against this aggression, this Russian aggression.
      “Don’t let it continue happening in Ukraine, don’t let it happen in Europe and eventually in the world. United we’re strong. Support Ukraine, thank you.”
      Recently it was reported that the Klitschko brothers were on a Russian “kill list” of senior Ukrainians.
      Fellow Ukrainian heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk has also taken up arms in the fight against Russia.
      He told CNN: “‘I really don’t know when I’m going to be stepping back in the ring.
      “My country and my honor are more important to me than a championship belt.’
