Whyte won the WBC interim title against Oscar Rivas in July 2019. Alexander Povetkin knocked him out in the fifth round in August 2020, but Whyte reversed the result with a fourth-round stoppage in Gibraltar in March 2021.
Tyson Fury stopped him in the sixth round of their WBC title fight at Wembley in April 2022. Whyte returned with wins over Jermaine Franklin, Christian Hammer and Ebenezer Tetteh.
Moses Itauma stopped him in the first round in Riyadh on August 16, 2025. Whyte is 31–4 (21 KOs), with no next fight announced.
