AMIR Khan's win in Athens could put the teenager into pole position for BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
Olympic champion runner Kelly Holmes is the favourite, especially if she scoops a second gold medal.
But bookies say Amir could make a big difference as the nation continues to be gripped by his breathtaking exploits in the ring.
Bookmakers William Hill have Amir Khan as fourth favourite for the Beeb's prestigious title, on 16/1.
Coral are offering odds of 7/4 for Amir to win gold. Cuban Mario Cesar Kindelan Mesa is 2/5 ON.
