While Asian Championships silver-medallist Devendro will be seen in action for Poland Hussars, Bhiduri has been lapped up by Italia Thunders. The Italian franchise was the champion in the team event of the 2011-12 season albeit under a different name.
The two boxers have got the opportunity courtesy Anglian Medal Hunt -- a sports management group which has been supporting the duo.
"I don't words to describe how it feels. It is a huge opportunity for me because the Italian team features some big names like (Olympic and Word Championships medallist) Paddy Barnes," said Bhiduri.
Last season too, the Indian boxers had been seen in action at the WSB when Asian champion Shiva Thapa and Sumit Sangwan turned up for the USA franchise for a select number of bouts. However, this is the first time that Indian boxers have been offered full-fledged contracts.

"Their contracts are for season five and six, which will be held in 2015," he added.
Besides, the WSB also offers Olympic quota places for boxers through its individual championships.
"We are getting used to playing without head guards and we will train hard to ensure that we have the stamina to last five rounds in this event. It will definitely make us better boxers," said Devendro.
