Manchester United hero Ibrahimovic was at the Principality Stadium to see Joshua successfully defend his titles against brave Carlos Takam.
It was the Londoner's 20th straight knockout victory after the 10th round stoppage.
Afterwards Ibrahimovic - well on the road to recovery from cruciate ligament surgery - gave his thoughts on Joshua.
The Swedish forward knows about fighting: he’s a black belt in taekwondo.

Ibrahimovic was asked about taking on the British boxer, but Zlatan laughed off the question.
He did, though, offer to teach Joshua how to become Bruce Lee!
Lee was an iconic martial artist who sadly died at the age of 32 in 1973.
Asked how much money it would take for him to fight Joshua in the ring, Ibrahimovic replied:
"I would not fight Joshua. I can only learn from him - but if he wants to learn some Bruce Lee skills, I can learn him."
Ibrahimovic, 35, would like to see Joshia take on American Deontay Wilder next.
"Go over to America, get the knockout and say 'is that all you've got' and just come back," he said.
Takam, 36, who stepped in at 12 days notice following an injury to Kubrat Pulev, had blood pouring into his eye from the fourth round onwards.
He was twice inspected by ringside medics before the end came.
Ibrahimovic agreed with the stoppage. "The Frenchman gave a good fight," he added.
"I thought it would be faster but the other guy did a good job.
