The stats show the KO was coming as Fury was the more accurate of the two throughout.
In fact, after the first round it was plain sailing for the heavyweight world champion as he landed 31 per cent of his punches overall.
Whyte did not better Fury's punch accuracy in any round - his high of 25 per cent of punches landed was bettered by Fury in all but the first round, when he also managed 25 per cent.
But after that Fury found his rhythm and stepped up the pace, throwing 54 punches in round five alone.

Whyte could not live with the speed and fitness of The Gypsy King - and at times could not get close enough to hit Fury.
The Body Snatcher struggled as a result and although round five was also his most productive, his 34 punches thrown in those three minutes was bettered by Fury in all but the first round.
Unsurprisingly, that translated into more punches landed - again Whyte's highest tally of seven in round five was worse than Fury in all but the first round.
Fury landed 12 or more punches in five of the six rounds, gradually wearing down Whyte until he momentarily let his guard drop before being knocked out.

Fury even revealed Whyte told him he was hurt after the 33-year-old landed a big body shot.
So despite Whyte claiming "one slip" led to his defeat, it really was a mismatch throughout.
Fury was eager to bring the bout to an end and was caught shouting at the referee to call a halt to the fight after Wyte somehow scrambled to his feet following the knockdown.
