They sometimes mean the same thing. "Fight" is both a verb and a noun. You can say "I fight him" or "We had a fight."
"Bout" is a British noun. You will not hear the word "bout" in the US when someone is talking about a "fight." In England, if two people "have a bout," it means they have a fight.
"Bout" also means an amount of time spent on an activity/action. Example: "She had a bout of the flu" means "she got sick with the flu." Americans do use the word in this context.
I hope this is helpful!
