It sounds like they have had a serious fight. I think you may need to separate for their own safety. Are they adolescents, this is the worst age for fighting, sorry it’s so disappointing for you but they could live quite happily in side by side cages
Have a read in the guides above Behaviour, Bonding & Bereavement Guides

Hi and welcome!

Please keep your pair separate. Not all guinea pigs work out; yours won't go together after such a serious fight, unfortunately.
Like in a failed human marriage, there is no magic wand trick that changes personality and outlook, especially not after a big row.

It is a very gutting experience, but please concentrate rather on what to do next. Please have the lip seen by a vet, especially with a deep penetrating bite.
Please take the time to read this guide here. It is listing in detail all your options after a fall-out with all their pros and cons, so you can plan for the long term how to make your boys as happy as is possible for you.

I would recommend to put a divider through the middle; your pen is large enough for two single pens.

Sadly character compatilibity is not what you look out for and consider when you buy two guinea pigs from a shop or a breeder (and who generally don't have the time, the knowledge and the interest in creating sustainable bonds based on mutual liking and character compatibility); yet this is key to any successful bond of whatever gender or gender combination - sows come with their own problems.
That is why there are so many single especially boars because once the teenage months with their huge testosterone spikes hit, any bond is put under enormous stress. You have simply been unlucky in that you have two boars that don't like each other and don't balance out personality-wise.
