Amir Khan has received a boost ahead of his October 6 fight with Scott Lawton with the news he is now rated at number 10 by the WBC.

The sanctioning body's title is regarded as one of the most prestigious in the sport.

Their current WBC champion is David Diaz.

Khan's has moved up in the August ratings, having previously broken the top 25.

It follows his win over Willie Limond in July at London's O2 Arena, in which he climbed off the floor in the sixth round to force his opponent to quit two rounds later.

The 20-year-old faces English champion and former British title challenger Lawton at the Nottingham Arena.

Meanwhile Khan has also cemented his position in the latest WBO ratings, moving to number seven.

Thoroughly deserved. Khan has beaten some serious world class opposition and to me, is in the top 10 lightweights in the world. Fuck it, I say we put him in there with Wlad, Khan is so seasoned he could beat a Heavyweight no problem. He'd take the punches with his rock hard chin and come back with better
