Parker's stopped the Brazilian, just 31 seconds into the fourth round of his bout in Hamilton.
Parker says he knew the fight was over as soon as he connected with the right hand.
"Once I saw his facials and I saw his eyes and I thought it was a good punch and it landed and I looked over at Kevin and he was jumping up happy and then I was happy."
His trainer Kevin Barry says Parker was outstanding.
Barry says he showed how world class he really is and expects it'll put the shudders up a few other heavyweights.
Kevin Barry says he expects Parker to be ranked inside the top 10 by all four major boxing organisations by the end of next year.
Joseph Parker is now undefeated in 12 fights, with 10 of his wins coming by way of knock-out.
Barry: 'Parker's best performance'
Kevin Barry's hailing Joseph Parker's knockout win over Irineu Beato Costa Junior as an A plus performance.
Barry says it was by far Parker's best performance and he showed what he sees everyday in training.
"I thought this was the perfect opponent and the perfect time of the year, after putting five fights together in seven and a half months, that we would see the best of Joseph, we would see the skills that he possesses and tonight I thought he was outstanding."
