So it’s no surprise the Warrnambool fighter is already plotting her next move.

Johnson needed just four rounds to record a technical knock out triumph over Rungnapha Kaewkrachang on Saturday night, lifting the Women’s International Boxing Association’s bantamweight title.

It was the perfect segue into Johnson’s next goal – a bout with World Boxing Association super flyweight champion Linda Lecca mid-year.

“I’ll probably have a week to recover and then I’ll look to get back to normal, back into a training camp,” the 23-year-old said.

“June will come around really quick and in having to come down to the super flyweight category, we want to be on the front foot.”

Johnson, originally from New Zealand and the Gold Coast, landed at Warrnambool coach Rodney ‘Rudy’ Ryan’s Kelp Street gym last September.

Now living and working in Warrnambool, Johnson said confidence was flowing after extending her unbeaten professional record to nine victories.

“It’s feeling great. I had a large Warrnambool crowd down with me in Melbourne (against Kaewkrachang) and to come home with both my Oceania title and the other belt, it was great,” she told The Standard.

“The confidence is definitely there for me at the moment. We put a lot of hard work into training and I’ve just had fantastic support.

“As my boxing career goes forward we’ll look for even tougher opponents which is exciting. But I’m definitely confident in how I’m going.”

Johnson revealed her plan, carefully orchestrated with Ryan, went off without a hitch.

“I think I listened to Rudy well. We put the things we’ve been working on in sparring into practice and it’s all worked out for us,” she said.

“I’m really looking forward to fighting bigger and better opponents again going forward.”

Ryan lauded Johnson’s efforts in the fight, which he described as “awkward”.

“It’s been a pretty steady progression for her – we’re looking for a few bigger fights to hopefully continue her run,” he said.

“It was a pretty awkward fight because the opponent was fairly defensive.

“Once she got into her rhythm, she started putting her punches together and she finished it pretty quickly from there.

“I think she’s Warrnambool’s first boxing world champion and that’s something we’re really, really proud of.”
