[19] [20] On 11 November 2016, Butbul participated in the under 23 European Championship in Tel Aviv and won the silver in the 73 kg weight category after losing to Hidayet Heydarov of Azerbaijan in the final.

On 11 February 2017, Butbul took part at the prestigious Paris Grand Slam for the first time and won a bronze medal. [11] [12] In the quarter-final match he defeated local French Loïc Korval but lost in the semi-final to Japan's Soichi Hashimoto.
