Best Answer

Romeo initially wanted the fight not to happen, as he had already been wedded to Juliet and did not want to get on Tybalt's bad side, let alone fight him, which would only amplify any hatred between them. However, when Mercutio and Tybalt, both hot-headed and easy to aggravate, started to fight, and Mercutio died under Tybalt's blade, Romeo felt taking his best friend's side as his first priority. He fought with Tybalt out of rage of him killing Mercutio and ended up killing him.

simple answer: Mercutio's death by Tybalt spurred Romeo to kill him

Romeo challenges Tybalt to a fight because Tybalt killed Romeo's friend Mercutio. Romeo feels compelled to avenge Mercutio's death and defend his honor. This act of revenge ultimately leads to tragic consequences for Romeo and Juliet.
