JAMES DEGALE and Chris Eubank Jr have accused each of trying to get George Groves kicked off the commentary of their fight.
The Saint still expects to turn up for the Saturday night broadcast, despite the demands of one of the rivaling camps.
The newly retired star is the ideal man to offer ITV insight, having beaten both on 12-round points decisions.
And DeGale and Eubank Jr have both denied trying to stitch their old rival up.
DeGale said: "It isn’t me, it’s this pussy Chris.
“I would never do that. I would want him on it, he is a doughnut but I don’t care.
"My mum is the co-boss. I am the real don.
Eubank Jr used his usually poor defence to say: “I didn’t do it. We have both said we are it is OK so he can be on it.
And his dad aimed a shot at Mrs DeGale, saying: : “George Groves has been an exemplary champion and his conduct has been chivalrous. It would be good to have him on.
“I know it is not us so it must be his camp, it might not be James but it could be his parents.
“The mother is in control of his career.
"George Groves can be a commentator on the show."
