The boy needs discipline, and not the kind that involves corporal punishment. He needs the kind of discipline where someone enforces standards of behavior upon him through reward and consequence.
As has been said before, martial arts is a wonderful track to take. It teaches self-discipline, which runs a close second to patience in the race to defeat a man mentally. If he has someone teaching him not only physically how to control his body but mentally how to control his anger, his temperament, and his other emotions, he'll be far better in the long run. He should avoid fights not for fear of being hurt himself, but for fear of hurting another unnecessarily--which happens to parallel with the concepts of most mental disciplines and martial arts.
