The 20-year-old will meet Limond, who has a record of 28-1 - his only defeat an eighth-round stoppage to fellow Scot Alex Arthur in 2003, at London's O2 Arena on July 14.

Khan's last outing was an impressive three-round demolition of Doncaster lightweight Steffy Bull in Cardiff earlier this month.

The victory elevated the Olympic Silver medallist's record to 12-0 and convinced promoter Frank Warren he is ready to challenge for the Commonwealth title.

Limond, 28, is a fine technician but does not have the power to match, with only eight of his wins arriving inside the distance.

Currently topping the bill is Nicky Cook's challenge for the vacant WBO featherweight title against Steven Luevano.

Cook, the former British, Commonwealth and European champion, faces the 26-year-old from Los Angeles, who has a record of 32-1.
