The 24-year-old was thrilled with her unanimous decision victory over Signapore's Nursh Roslie at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre on Wednesday night.
She fought on one of her biggest cards ever with Jeff Horn and Micheal Zerafa contesting the main event.
Johnson said she enjoyed the big occasion.
"There's a lot of pressure but I think at the end of the day that makes it more exciting and you focus in a lot more," she said.

The undefeated fighter would like to face 'Shotgun' Shannon O'Connell next.
"She's a tough fighter and she's been in the game a long time," Johnson said.
"If I want to be the best I've gotta beat the best."
Johnson, who trained with Rudy's Boxing in Warrnambool in 2018, relocated to the city to give herself the best chance to progress her boxing.
She is now based in Melbourne with Team Labruna.
"It's been a great move for my boxing career," she said.
But she said she was keen to get back to Warrnambool soon for a visit.
"I'd just like thank to everyone in Warrnambool for their continued support and I still get messages from everyone," she said.
