Frank Warren admits Dereck Chisora's credibility is at stake when he meets unbeaten American Malik Scott at Wembley Arena on Saturday
Chisora enters his 21st fight having lost four of his last six contests, leaving him at a pivotal moment of a controversial career that threatens to pass unfulfilled.
Even allowing for the fact he has lost only to Vitali Klitschko, David Haye and Tyson Fury - the latter while he was out of shape - and dropped a highly-dubious decision to Robert Helenius, Warren knows a fifth defeat would be damaging.
"Although you look at the calibre of fighter Dereck has lost to and the poor decision he got, to be in the mix you must win," the promoter said.
"If he loses we have to find somebody else for him to fight, someone he can beat and someone against whom he can get some credibility back.
"This fight is about credibility for Dereck, about showing that he belongs with the elite and is capable of doing it when he gets into good physical condition.
