Early life

Tuskaev originally wanted to become a professional football player; although, his dad took Tuskaev to start wrestling in his home of Chikola, seeing as Khadzhimurat Gatsalov, Boris Makoev and Amiran Kardanov had all started their wrestling careers in Chikola. Thus began Tuskaev's career, where he has wrestled in tournaments such as: European Championships, Sassari Ranking Series Tournament; World Cup; Russian National Championships and the Alania tournament.
