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]
