On 10 March 2018, Thanderz defeated unbeaten Icelandic boxer Valgerdur Gudsteinsdottir by unanimous decision at X Meeting Point in Oslo to win the vacant WBC female lightweight International title. [7]

Thanderz claimed the vacant interim WBC female super-featherweight title with a split decision win over Danila Ramos at Ekeberg Hall in Oslo on 16 December 2019. [8]
