Tyson Fury has gone on a Twitter blocking spree and his latest victim is heavyweight rival Anthony Joshua.

First Eddie Hearn, then Matchroom Boxing and now the unified heavyweight world champion.

Joshua, who recorded his 22nd professional victory on Saturday night, has just posted a picture on social media which shows the heavyweight kingpin being blocked by Fury on Twitter.

The post is accompanied with the words: "Why so serious" with a clown and kissing emoji.

What's more, Fury has also blocked Joshua's promotional team, Matchroom Boxing.

Even 'Match of the Day' host Gary Lineker chimed in.

Fury and Joshua continue to trade verbal jabs.

After beating Alexander Povetkin, Fury immediately responded by producing an epic rant on Instagram.

"Think it's now safe to say AJ and his team are a pack of s***houses and will rob the British boxing fans of Britons biggest fight," he said in a video right after Joshua's victory.

Fury added: "They will never fight me ever! Way too slow and ponderous. Can't box eggs! Contact me when you grow a pair.

"I'm 27/0/9 KO and the lineal heavyweight champion of the world! Can't say I blame team Joshua."

"Continuing his tirade, Fury said: "It's safe to say now that they will never fight the Gypsy King. Never.

"They mentioned if it's not Wilder, it's [Dillian] Whyte. There's no mention of Tyson Fury, the lineal heavyweight champion of the world.

"It's all right fighting men 39 years old, half your size. Tonight is pure evidence I'm fighting the best heavyweight out there in Deontay Wilder. Joshua is not even close.

"He's slow, methodical, ponderous at times. Powerful? Yes. But they all are. Very, very clear to see, avoid me at all costs. If I was Joshua, I would avoid me, I'd jab your head off. You're a bum. Can't box, jab your nut in. Easy night's work."

The self-proclaimed 'Gyspy King' is slated to fight Deontay Wilder on December 1st. Team Joshua are hoping to secure a fight against the winner in 2019.
