scrapper
One who brawls
A scrapper is someone who fights readily or refuses to back down—a person with combative spirit who punches above their weight: She's a scrapper who won't quit.
The word usually carries admiration for tenacity rather than criticism of aggression.
Separately, a scrapper works in scrap metal salvage, collecting and processing discarded materials for recycling.
