Yes, they can and will fight if the female feels threatened.

They will always fight if the doe is bred or does not want to be bred. Does can and will castrate a buck and have been known to kill bucks upon occasion. That is why you never put rabbits together to breed and walk away.

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't: rabbits are individuals and, just like humans, sometimes they get along and sometimes they don't! Never let rabbits fight: even a small bite can lead to an infection. Spaying/neutering rabbits improves their chance of getting along with other rabbits (including male/female groupings). See the related link and question below for more info.

Male bunnies who have reached sexual maturity fight with other bunnies when they are housed together in a hutch. The males fight with any other bunny, even a brother or sister bunny that they grew up with. Males need to be housed by themselves.
