The exciting youngster is ranked No1 by the WBO after he knocked out Mike Balogun in May to take his flawless record to 12-0.
Itauma is the big favourite to beat veteran Whyte, who is almost double his age.
The Bodysnatcher is looking to pull off a huge upset as he looks to revive his career after underwhelming wins against Christian Hammer and Ebenezer Tetteh in 2024.
A win for Whyte could potentially set up a blockbuster rematch with either Anthony Joshua or Derek Chisora.
But defeat may see the 37-year-old's time as a top heavyweight come to an end.

Scots Haggis eating champion vows to set new record
Alastair wants to win ten titles and smash a previous top time Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE world haggis-scoffing champ has set his sights on bagging 10 titles and smashing a record before he retires. Alastair Ross, 28, has his eyes set on winning the World Haggis Eating competition at the Birnam Highland Games later this month. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Alastair has won the title seven times 3 He says he can demolish a haggis in less than 44 seconds 3 Competitors are set to munch the offal treat at the Birnam Highland Games The butcher, of Dunkeld, Perthshire, has already bagged eight titles and was considering retirement but instead has decided to push on to hit double figures. He can demolish an entire 1lb haggis in less than 44 seconds - which is the current world record held by 33-year-old Lee Goodfellow. Alastair hopes to set a better time and claims the secret to his success is knocking it back with a pint of lager. He said: 'I am absolutely headstrong in the fact I'm going to smash the record with a pint of lager because no one says it's possible. 'I've won the competition eight times, seven times in a row. It's just a wee claim to fame, I guess. I'll be sad if and when I lose it. But I won't stop until I've reached 10. 'I'm going to smash Lee Goodfellow's world record as God intended, with a beer in my right hand.' Alastair first witnessed the offal competition when he was a child and began competing in 2016. Participants must eat a traditional haggis - made from sheep innards, oatmeal, and spices - in as little time as possible. The existing record was set by a rival who downed water but Alastair is keen on doing it with beer. He said: 'My official games record stands at low 50s. Unofficially, I've done it in a butcher's shop and I absolutely smashed that record. 'Other competitors drink water because it doesn't fizz up in your stomach. I've done it with water under the 44 seconds. But I think that's too easy. 'The secret to eating the haggis quickly is forget what you're eating and just chew. I usually just cram as much into my mouth as possible and just wash it down with lager. 'It's not for the faint hearted.' Ross recently took part in an eating challenge to promote Innis and Gunn which saw him put away five helpings of steak and chips. He joked that competitive eating made him pass too much gas and that he'd have to quit to give his loved ones a break. Thousands of contaminated tablets are urgently recalled in UK as Brits fall ill with 'antibiotic resistant Salmonella' But the comment sparked rumours that he would pull out of the haggis eating championship. Alastair added: 'It's just a wee claim to fame, I guess. I'll be sad if and when I lose it.' The winner receives the Willie Robertson trophy, named after a popular local man who previously won the competition. Birnam Highland Games takes place on August 30.
