Takashi Miura (三浦 隆司 Miura Takeshi?) is a Japanese professional boxer, and a former WBC Super featherweight Champion. He was born in the Akita Prefecture and lives in Tokyo.
Miura won the WBC super featherweight title from Mexican Gamaliel Díaz via a ninth round TKO in the latter's first title defence in Tokyo at the Kokugikan on April 8, 2013. He made four title defences before losing his belt in 2015 to Francisco Vargas, in a potential fight of the year candidate.
On January 28, 2017 Miura knocked out Miguel Roman in the 12th round of their fight to earn a second shot at the WBC Super featherweight title, now held by Miguel Berchelt who defeated Vargas for the belt later that same evening.
