Not available

Explanation:

Fights" is a clue hinting at a phrase meaning to engage in a physical altercation. "Dukes it out" fits because "dukes" is slang for fists (from the rhyming slang "dukes of York" = "fork," which sounds like "fist"), and the phrase as a whole means to settle a dispute with a fight. It’s a casual, idiomatic way to describe brawling or arguing aggressively.
