A jury found Johnson guilty by majority verdict of murder following a trial at Nottingham Crown Court.
Co-accused Zaiem Zulqurnain, 20, of Aspley, Nottinghamshire, was cleared of the murder and a second charge of violent disorder.
Joshua, a former boxer who represented England, was stabbed in the chest after a fight broke out in Thurland Street in Nottingham at 4am on February 8 this year.
Johnson, of Hyson Green, Nottingham, was told he would serve at least 25 years behind bars before being eligible for parole,

'Joshua Bradley was a much-loved son, brother, nephew and friend.
'These people have, I fear many others have too, suffered a devastating loss.
