Oktay Takalak (born August 6, 1990) is a French boxer and France featherweight titleholder.

He first won the title in 2013, but had given it up when he went on an American tour for eleven months. While there he trained in the Mayweather Boxing Gym. He failed to get a contract for a US match, sending him home to France and forcing him to start over at his former club in Lyon.
He is the current and first WBC Francophone featherweight titleholder after a fight against Mikael Mkrtchyan that he won on points. This title makes him the champion of the 57 French speaking countries in the world that acknowledge the title.
