Oktay Takalak (born August 6, 1990) is a French boxer and France featherweight titleholder.[1] He reclaimed the title after winning the fight against Sofiane Bellahcene in three rounds, defeating him by TKO, for the vacant title[2] after the injury of Anthony Buquet. He first won the title in 2013,[3] but had given it up when he went on an American tour for eleven months. While there he trained in the Mayweather Boxing Gym.[4] He failed to get a contract for a US match, sending him home to France and start over at his former club in Lyon.[5]

He is the current and first WBC Francophone featherweight titleholder after a fight against Mikael Mkrtchyan that he won on points.[6][7] This title makes him the champion of the 57 French speaking countries in the world that acknowledge the title.[8]
