I don't know enough about giraffes -- both males? Both females? Mixed pair? I don't know enough about giraffe body language to tell -- a dominance fight, adolescent males rough-housing, or what?
Notice the long periods of leaning against each other & subtle head/neck/ear movements.

Thanks for sharing, though.
Those are males. Serious fights - can be fatal. See more here and here.
There is another YouTube video of necking giraffes here:
