Whyte, 37, was powerless to deal with the blistering punch speed and accuracy of Itauma and was flattened by a sickening right hook.
Whyte, somehow, returned to his feet, but referee Mikael Hook waved off the contest after just 119 seconds.
Itauma’s decimation of the Brixton Body Snatcher has well and truly put the division on notice.
And former two-time unified champion Fury reckons it’s only a matter of time before he rules the division.
Taking to his Instagram to reshare a winner’s graphic of Itauma, ”The Gypsy King’ wrote: “There he is.
“The future of boxing. [I’ve] been saying it for years!”
Itauma is now on a one-way ticket to dust-ups with the big boys of the division.
But he could care little about who he faces next, roaring: “What’s next!

“Honestly, I will fight anyone they put in front of me.
“If I am honest, Joseph Parker and Agit Kabayel deserved their shot, but I would jump in with them lot.”
Reflecting on his stoppage of Whyte, who now faces an uncertain future, Itauma said: “I thank Dillian.
“It takes two to tangle and he gave me the opportunity to showcase my skills.
“To be honest, for the first two minutes the nerves were there.
“But then I saw an opening that I could not miss and I executed the game plan.”
