Returning former junior middleweight titleholder Yuri Foreman made it an easy night on Wednesday at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City, as he widely outpointed Philadelphia trialhorse Jamaal Davis in their eight-round main event.

Brooklyn's Foreman (31-2, 8 KOs) was fighting for the third time since a two-year reprieve from the ring. He had lost two straight fights, to Miguel Cotto and Pawel Wolak respectively, before taking a nearly two-year sabbatical.

Davis (14-10-1, 6 KOs) is the prototypical spoiler, but was unable to put enough together to give Foreman much issue. Foreman was able to control the action from the outside for much of the night, not allowing the rugged Davis to work inside.

Comebacking junior middleweight Yuri Foreman will return to action on July 24, taking on journeyman Tony Hirsch in an eight-round bout at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City. Marlon Sullivan, Hirsch's manager, confirmed the information to RingTV on Wednesday afternoon.

This will mark Foreman's third fight since returning to the ring following a nearly two-year layoff. He announced his retirement after losing to Pawel Wolak in March of 2011. The loss was Foreman's second in a row, having lost his previous bout to Miguel Cotto in front of a raucous crowd at Yankee Stadium.

Foreman (30-2, 8 KOs) lost to Cotto after injuring his leg during the fight but showed tremendous heart in continuing on one leg until the fight was stopped in round nine. Cotto picked up Foreman's WBA 154-pound title with the win.
