Whyte has been cleared to resume his career after a positive drug test recorded ahead of a scheduled clash with Anthony Joshua last August was revealed to have been caused by a contaminated supplement, with Whyte always protesting his innocence. The 35-year-old, fighting in Castlebar, Ireland on St Patrick's Day, beat Hammer in quick time after his Romania-born rival was hauled out ahead of the fourth round.
The Brixton fighter was a little wild in the third round but the damage seemed to have been done with Hammer - who also has defeats to Joe Joyce, Tyson Fury, Hughie Fury and Luis Ortiz on a 27-11 CV - not returning. Whyte took his pro record to 30-3, with his only defeats coming at the hands of Tyson Fury, Alexander Povetkin and Joshua. Whyte avenged his fifth-round loss to Povetkin in August 2020 by winning the pair's rematch a year later when he stopped the Russian in the fourth round.
