Borchashvili immigrated to Wels, Austria with his family from Chechnya, Russia when he was a child.[7]

Borchashvili won the silver medal at the 2021 Judo Grand Slam Tbilisi in the -81 kg class.[8]

Borchashvili won the bronze medal in the men's 81kg Judo competition in the postponed 2020 Summer Olympics held in 2021 in Tokyo.[9]

Borchashvli won another bronze medal in the Men's 81 kg at the 2022 World Judo Championships by defeating 2020 Olympic silver medalist Saeid Mollaei.[10][11]

Borchashvili wanted to compete at the 2022 Judo World Masters in Jerusalem without the coach. Since this was deemed unacceptable by the Austrian Judo Federation, his registration for the tournament was withdrawn for disciplinary reasons.[12]

Although Borchashvili managed to qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics he decided not to start and was replaced with his brother Wachid Borchashvili.[13][14]

Borchashvili competed in his final professional event at the 2025 World Judo Championships, where he was defeated in the first round by Matthias Casse.[15] Two months later, he announced his retirement from competition.[4][16]
