Having previously secured a WBA world ranking, Foley took fights outside of Oz, taking on the likes of Chris Jenkins and Akeem Ennis Brown.
He returned to Australia after a no contest and a defeat before sampling all Irish action via a fight with fellow entertainer Tyrone McKenna.
After a fourth career defeat the 32-year-old was home defeating Jameson Bacon.
The light welterweight then agreed to fight Rio 2016 Olympic gold medal Fazliddin Gaibnazarov [8(5)-1(0)] in Kazakhstan on March 28.
The pandemic saw the fight with the Uzbek fighter fall through, but Foley will fight in Australia this year.
Now he is back under the Down Under spotlight in a highly anticipated clash against the seemingly rattled Telford.
