Do you want a term that refers primarily to picking physical fights, or do you want a more general term for causing inter-personal conflict?

Consider the words below:
Scrapper (informal) - a fighter or aggressive competitor, especially one always ready or eager for a fight, argument, or
contest (source).
Fighter - a person who physically fights another person (note that the word is often used to talk about professional boxers and just strong people who don't give up easily, but in the right context the word may be what you are looking for).
By the way, a shit stirrer is a person who takes pleasure in causing trouble or discord. It's not specifically someone who loves picking fights. They may like that too, though.
