In the video the reality star can be seen repeatedly edging towards 30-year-old DeGale before being shoved back by the boxer.
An onlooker who witnessed the scuffle said: “We had just seen James DeGale when Arg came over and was saying things like ‘You owe me two minutes of your time. I’ve always been watching your fights.'
“The whole time DeGale was just saying ‘Go away mate, leave me alone.’
“Arg kept getting dragged away then coming back at him. It went on for a while at which point DeGale just said ‘f*** off’ and gave him a little push.”

The eyewitness added: “DeGale just wasn’t interested in him and wanted to go home.
“Arg seemed to have a problem with him and wanted to make something of it.”
The pair had been partying at the White Club in Dubai and were leaving in the early hours of Saturday when the footage was taken.
IBF super middleweight champ DeGale looked to be in a large group of friends at the nightspot.

Arg, 28, was suspended from Towie in November 2014 after testing positive for cocaine.
He checked into The Priory for a month-long stint of rehab and was let back on the ITV show in 2015.
In April this year he split with long-term love Lydia Bright after she allegedly caught her co-star doing the drug.
A spokesman for Arg said: "There wasn’t an altercation and they are very good friends and were just playing around after a night out."
Sun Online has approached DeGale's representatives for comment.
