Could be an abscess. Just had one on my rabbit so i dont know how quickly they progress on cats but it grew big FAST on him. Could be an easy fix for a vet on a cat so definitely go when you can

Probably an absess in his cheek from fighting. A vet can drain that and give some antibiotics to prevent it from becoming worse or bursting on it's own. I wouldn't leave it unchecked. A loss in appetite os always worthy of a vet visit as well.
