A fistfight is a physical confrontation between two individuals in which they use their fists to strike each other. It typically involves close-range combat, with both participants attempting to land punches on one another's faces or bodies. Fistfights can occur spontaneously due to an argument or disagreement, or as a premeditated act of violence. They are often seen as a form of physical expression of anger or aggression and can result in injury or even death.
