The 17-year-old lightweight confirmed he was a unique talent by easily outpointing the European champion with a stunning display.
Khan struggled at first against the tricky southpaw and was just one point ahead after the first round but he then stepped up a gear, shaking his opponent with a flashing left-right combination in the second round.
Swift footwork, amazing hand speed and great accuracy helped Khan increase his lead on the scoreboard in the last two rounds to win a 37-21 decision.
The world junior champion, Khan, the only British boxer in Athens, is trying to become the youngest Olympic boxing champion since American Floyd Patterson in 1952.
