On 2 June 2009 Power returned to action with Hussein in his corner and defeated Sid Razak at the York Hall. The return to winning ways did not last however, when in his next outing, on 11 September 2009, Power lost to Stuart Hall by stoppage in the 8th round of their 8-round contest. On 11 December 2009 Power met former British and Commonwealth title challenger Matthew Edmonds at the Newport Leisure Centre in Wales and scored a 5th round stoppage, topping off a mixed year since the return to St. Pancras. On 23 July 2010 Power returned to championship action as the challenger to former conqueror Stuart Hall who had gone on to lift the title with a win over Ian Napa earlier in the year. The fight, in Sunderland, saw Hall once again come out on top with the referee stopping the contest in the 10th round. For Hall it was only the 11th pro fight of his career and the 10th win with Power slipping to a sixth career defeat.
