Same as ' kæmpe til døden'?
Not quite sure if this actually means 'fight to the death' or 'fight for their lives'.
De har overværet kannibaler kæmpe på liv og død over en stjålen gris.
The text is an interview for a magazine aricle. I guess it's the former but I'm not 100% sure Thanks for any help.

a life-or-death struggle
Ikke helt det samme - man dør af at ´fight to the death´, men med held kan man slippe fra en ´life-or-death struggle´ med livet i behold!
