Nicknamed "Louisiana," Biderberg began his professional career in 1908 with a series of bouts against Pal Moore. Fighting most in the Philadelphia area in the early stages of his career, he lost only once in his first 20 fights. By 1911, he was fighting across the country and defeated former world bantamweight champion Monte Attell (Abe Attell's brother) in Pittsburgh. His next fight was in Albany, New York, and by the end of the year, he was fighting in New Orleans.

After fighting a series of bouts in western Pennsylvania and Ohio, Biderberg returned East. In April 1913, he fought future world bantamweight champion Kid Williams and lost a six-round decision. They had a rematch the following year and Biderberg again lost a six-round decision. In the mid-1910s, he traveled West again and fought in Kansas City and Denver. Biderberg continued to fight professionally until the late 1910s and retired with almost 80 career bouts.
