How old are both?

Sounds to me like the other is trying to take the other's place as Alpha.

Typical.

He's a cockerel trying to take over the flock. This is normal.

You can either let them duke it out(Monitor while it happens), or separate them if you don't want an Alpha Swap, or if you feel that it's getting out of hand(Potentially Deadly), separate permanently, or cull the aggressor.

Usually if there's a loser, he'll stay away from the winner, & go off, & find a new group of hens, or stay back respectfully as a beta.

Do you need both of them?
Do you have enough space and hens to help balance out these things?
If it's getting bad and I didn't have plans for breeding and such, I would just get rid of one. Keep it simple.

It's called "cockfighting" for a reason.

It's more normal for roosters to fight than for them to get along.

My son's off school today so we're going to divide the coop this afternoon in order to keep both my boys.

I'm willing to resolve things for the peace of my flock, even if it means rehoming a bird I like.
I would separate them at the very least. Separate pens with several hens for both boys.
