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.
