Joshua dominated and had Pulev on the canvas multiple times before the KO.
And attention immediately turned to a possible Fury fight in 2021.
Joshua refused to be drawn on a fight with Fury next year, but promoter Eddie Hearn was ready to discuss the possibility.
He said: "Since he came into the office he wanted to be the undisputed champion of the world. Less talk from us, more action.
“We’re going to be friendly, we’re going to be nice. We know what we have to do, starting from tomorrow, we make the Tyson Fury fight straight away.
“It’s the only fight to be made in boxing. It’s the biggest fight in boing, it’s the biggest fight in British boxing history.
“I know he wants it, he is the best heavyweight in the world I promise you. He’ll break him down, he’ll knock him out.”

But Coral see Fury as the favourite for the showdown.
Coral's John Hill said: "We are a step closer to a unification contest between Joshua and Fury after AJ defended his world titles this evening in an impressive performance against Kubrat Pulev.
"For the first time in his career, AJ would not start as the favourite against Fury," said Coral's John Hill.
"Although Joshua would be the underdog, it's a fight where both British boxers would have their fair share of supporters.
"It would also be one of the biggest bouts for betting turnover in the history of the sport."
