The 20-year-old extended his perfect record through 13 professional fights as he sent veteran Whyte sprawling to the canvas inside two minutes.
Former WBC interim heavyweight champion Whyte, 37, was not given any time to settle as Itauma—who had been made to wait in the ring by a delayed walk-in from his British rival-immediately went on the front foot.
