Johnson was under pressure when he came out the second round with his opponent's short left upper cuts.
Mirror said in a blow by blow account of the fight that Joshua softened Johnson with a couple of jabs before unleashing his right hand.
Despite Johnson's attempt to pretend he wasn't hurt by putting his arms out, viewers knew that it wasn't the case.
Out of 13 fights, this is the 13th KO of Joshua who was an Olympic gold winner and WBC International heavyweight champion.
Mail Online explained that by the end of the second round it was evident that Johnson was no match to Joshua who fought until the fourth round of the match.
They explained that this is the first time that Johnson was never stopped in a fight even against the likes of Vitali Klitschko and Tyson Fury.
During his previous three fights, Johnson had lost to respectable opponents. Two of his past opponents tried to claim world titles.
Joshua said that this shows he has the ability even though he believes he could've done better. He said that so far so good but he knows it would still get tougher.
He explained that he would stick with the people who guided him rather than landing on someone who thinks he doesn't believe in his abilities.
He added that his coach drills him in the gym which paid off with this win. He said that he would have to fight tougher opponents but he wouldn't stop.
Eddie Hearn, well-known boxing promoter, said that they have just witnessed the future heavyweight champion of the world.
