Yes, they do fight.
The breeding season is between August and October, which is Australia's late winter-early spring. Platypuses are solitary animals that only come together to mate. When they do they become very aggressive towards other platypuses. That only goes for the males, they are fighting for the chance to breed with a female and pass on their genes. When a male platypus fights for a female, territory, or even food he uses his venomous spurs locate on the back of each of his heels. This venom can be fatal to other platypuses and a few mammals. It's not fatal to humans though, all it does is cause extreme pain which cannot be relieved.
the platypus has competition with other platypuses
As far as competing for food, platypuses do not compete with one another. However, males will compete with other males for the right to reproduce with their chosen female.
There is no active competition for a platypus's habitat and biome. It has a unique niche in its ecosystem, which is not threatened by any other bird, reptile or mammal.

Ornithorhynchus anatinusThe original name was Platypus anatinus, from Greek and Latin words meaning "flat-footed, duck-like". After realising that the name "platypus" had already be given to a group of beetles, the scientist involved assigned the platypus the scientific name of Ornithorhynchus anatinus, the first word of which means "bird-like snout".
No. The platypus is not a hoarder.
A Platypus is not a primate.
The platypus should not be called anything else. It is just a platypus. It is not a duckbilled platypus, or any other such misnomer.
The platypus is called the platypus wherever one happens to be in Australia.
The collective noun for competitors is a field of competitors.
