Usage Note
Lucha covers both a physical fight or wrestling match (lucha libre, freestyle wrestling — especially iconic in Mexico) and an ongoing figurative struggle (la lucha por la igualdad, the fight for equality). The verb is luchar. Pelea is a closer synonym for a brief physical fight, while lucha often implies something sustained.
Examples
"La lucha por los derechos continúa."
Natural Translation
The struggle for rights continues.
