Cong Wang delivered another polished performance on October 17, 2023, defeating Amena Hadaya by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) in a three-round flyweight bout at UAE Warriors 45 in Abu Dhabi. The victory moved Wang to 3-0 as a professional while handing Hadaya her second career defeat.
The opening round was a technical striking battle with Wang immediately establishing herself as the faster and more composed athlete. Fighting behind a crisp jab and sharp straight right hand, she dictated the range and repeatedly beat Hadaya to the punch. Hadaya attempted to pressure forward and close the distance with combinations, but Wang’s lateral movement and disciplined footwork consistently forced her to reset. Whenever Hadaya stepped into boxing range, Wang countered with accurate punches before circling away, preventing her opponent from building momentum. By the end of the round, Wang’s cleaner striking and superior timing had clearly given her the edge.
Hadaya increased her aggression in the second round, looking to make the fight more physical by pressing Wang toward the fence and mixing in clinch exchanges. Wang remained calm under pressure, defending the majority of the grappling attempts while quickly returning the fight to open space. Once back at striking distance, Wang continued to land the more damaging shots, mixing quick combinations with well-timed body kicks and counter rights. Hadaya displayed toughness and determination, absorbing the offense while continuing to push forward, but she struggled to consistently connect with meaningful attacks as Wang controlled the tempo throughout the round.
Entering the final five minutes, Hadaya needed a strong finish, but Wang refused to allow the fight to swing. She maintained excellent distance management, picked her moments to attack, and repeatedly intercepted Hadaya’s forward movement with straight punches and sharp combinations. Hadaya continued to press and throw in volume, yet Wang’s superior accuracy, defensive awareness, and octagon control consistently won the exchanges. The Chinese prospect closed the bout with confidence, avoiding unnecessary risks while continuing to outland her opponent until the final horn.
After fifteen minutes, all three judges scored the contest 30-27 in favor of Cong Wang. It was a disciplined, technically polished performance that highlighted her speed, striking precision, and composure under pressure. Although Hadaya showed resilience and never stopped pursuing the fight, Wang’s cleaner offense, superior movement, and overall control earned her a unanimous decision victory and further established her as one of the rising talents in the women’s flyweight division.
