Card text
Create a Monster Role token attached to target creature you control. When you do, that creature fights up to one target creature you don't control. (If you control another Role on it, put that one into the graveyard. Enchanted creature gets +1/+1 and has trample. Creatures that fight each deal damage equal to their power to the other.)

Curse of the Werefox rulings
You don't choose a target for the creature to fight at the time you cast this spell. Rather, a second "reflexive" ability triggers when you create a Monster Role token attached to the creature that was targeted by the spell. You choose a target for that ability as it goes on the stack. Each player may respond to this triggered ability as normal.
If you can't attach a Monster Role token to the target creature you control when Curse of the Werefox resolves, the reflexive trigger that causes the fight won't happen.
If the creature you control already has a Role that you control attached to it, that Role will be put into its owner's graveyard as a state-based action after the Monster Role is attached to it but before the reflexive triggered ability resolves.
Roles are colorless enchantment tokens. Each one has the Aura and Role subtypes and the enchant creature ability.
If a permanent has more than one Role attached to it controlled by the same player, each of those Roles except the one with the most recent timestamp is put into its owner’s graveyard. This is a state-based action.
If two or more Roles controlled by the same player become attached to a permanent at the same time (perhaps due to an effect such as that of Doubling Season), that player chooses which one to keep and which are put into their owners’ graveyards.
A permanent can have multiple Roles attached to it if each one is controlled by a different player.
Some spells and abilities that create Role tokens require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won’t resolve. The Role token won’t be created.
In rare cases, a spell or ability might attempt to create a Role token enchanting a permanent that it can’t legally enchant (because of an ability like protection from enchantments). In such cases, the Role token isn’t created.
Hexproof and shroud won’t prevent a Role from becoming attached to a permanent if the ability creating that Role attached to that permanent doesn’t target it.
Cards in the Wilds of Eldraine main set create six different Role tokens: Cursed, Monster, Royal, Sorcerer, Wicked, and Young Hero. A seventh Role token, Virtuous, is created by Ellivere of the Wild Court, the commander of the “Virtue and Valor” Commander Deck.
Curse of the Werefox keyword rules
Fight Rule 701.12
A spell or ability may instruct a creature to fight another creature or it may instruct two creatures to fight each other. Each of those creatures deals damage equal to its power to the other creature.
If one or both creatures instructed to fight are no longer on the battlefield or are no longer creatures, neither of them fights or deals damage. If one or both creatures are illegal targets for a resolving spell or ability that instructs them to fight, neither of them fights or deals damage.
If a creature fights itself, it deals damage to itself equal to twice its power.
The damage dealt when a creature fights isn’t combat damage.
