Whyte now edges closer to securing a world title shot against Deontay Wilder following his convincing victory.

Browne had claimed in the build-up all he needed to do was land one punch in the fight to beat the 29-year-old Brit star.

The former British champion cut Browne in the second round.

The Aussie could muster only laboured punches as the Body Snatcher looked to build in confidence and energy with each round.
