Quartey returned to the ring in January 2005. He won the first three bouts of his comeback with victories over Clint McNeil, Verno Phillips and Carlos Bojorquez. On 5 August 2006, he lost a close unanimous decision to former Welterweight champion Vernon Forrest at Madison Square Garden, New York. The decision was deemed controversial by HBO's ringside commentators and much of the crowd in attendance.

If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
And I say, “Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript.””
