By desexing them it will often help with the hormones that create territorial issues with rabbits.

Rabbits will fight for lots of reasons. Some of these things include territorial aggression, lack of space, attention, exercise, food or hiding places, and sexual frustration ie you have undesexed same sex rabbits (girls tend to fight more than boys).
They mostly fight using their teeth and front paws and can cause nasty wounds. Rabbits can also be injured by the wire or nails in their cage so make sure that this is not possible.
I recommend that all rabbits are desexed, have a cage that is at least 4 times as long a one bunny hop, has separate food and water bowl for each bunny. Rabbits should be fed mostly grass hays (more natural and keeps them busier for longer) with a small amount of fruit, veg and pellets each day. Both rabbits should have supervised free yard time each day also.
Because they are already fighting it will be difficult to get this under control and you may have to separate them but if you try changing a few things you might be lucky. Hope this helps.

Separate them.. If they are unfixed, have them spayed/neutered. Introduce them gradually in neutral territory. Either that, or rehome one of them. Rabbits are social animals though, and if you can get them to live together without any risk of harm, it would be nice. But if not, house separately and perhaps just allow supervised play sessions.

Rabbits have long claws on their back feet and will fight with each other. My suggestion is get another cage and stop the fighting, it will only get worse.

Try putting them in there own separate cages and see how that might work out.

Well if they don't like each other then you can't help that. You have to give them seperate cages fast or you might have a dead rbbit soon.
