Sørsdal was born in Hamar, Norway. He trained as a medical student while pursuing his boxing career, boxing for Akademisk Boxe-Klub.

In 1920 he won the silver medal in the light heavyweight class after losing in the final to Eddie Eagan. Four years later he won the bronze medal in the same weight division when he won the bronze medal bout against Carlo Saraudi. In the 1928 Summer Olympics he finished fourth in the heavyweight competition. He was unable to compete in the bronze medal bout against Michael Michaelsen, after losing in the semifinal to Nils Ramm.[5]
