Professional career
Before becoming a professional boxer, Cederroos played football professionally, doing so with Hammarby and Djurgården.[2]
Cederroos made her professional debut on 8 April 2017, after her second pregnancy, defeating Sanja Ostojić by technical knockout in the fourth round.[3]
With only five bouts in her career, on 22 March 2019, Cederroos fought Femke Hermans for the vacant IBF female super middleweight title. Cederroos won the bout by majority decision after ten rounds.[4]
Cederroos became a unified World champion when she defeated WBA female super-middleweight title holder Alicia Napoleon-Espinosa by unanimous decision on 10 January 2020.[5]
In her next fight she took on WBC and WBO female super-middleweight title holder Franchón Crews-Dezurn in a bout to decide the division's undisputed champion. Cederroos lost the contest at Madison Square Garden in New York on 30 April 2022 by unanimous decision.[6]
Cederroos fought Shadasia Green for the WBC female super-middleweight Silver title on 4 February 2023 but suffered her first stoppage defeat. Having been dropped to the canvas in round three, she was taking heavy punishment in the sixth-round when referee Danny Schiavone stepped in to call a halt to the bout.[7]
In September 2023, Cederroos retired from boxing.[8]
