How about "闘" = Pronounced as "TOU" or "Tatakai"
Sorry, but I couldn't find any images.

I'm no expert in Japanese, but this is what I know.

戦う ( TATAKA U ) literally reads "fighting" as you requested. This character (戦) alone reads SEN. Don't know what you need it for, but if you're going for a tattoo, I wouldn't use (戦う), but (戦).

Other examples of the character used in words, to give you a feel for the kanji.

戦争= SENSOU = war/warfare

戦士= SENSHI = soldier/warrior

戦史= SENSHI = military history/history of war

戦死= SENSHI = death in action/battle

Hope this helps.

There are a few Kanji characters stand for "fight".
"戦" is another good one. But I personally like "闘" better.

I found a useful site.

A description of "fighting" of this site is below:

goldberg2310,

If you copy/paste the text from the forum into WORD or any other document editing program, you'll be able to change text size without trouble.
