Papachenko believes in training the mind as well as the body. He has Loma and Usyk doing all kinds of weird non boxing related stuff to improve their concentration, will power, speed of thought, etc.

In one interview with Usyk, after a press conference for the Bellew fight, he says that he didn't say much during the presser because he'd been composing a poem in his head and solving mental arithmetic problems while it was going on. He said his mental coach had given him those tasks to do before the presser started, and he had to complete them before it was over.

Here's a couple of articles about Papachenko's methods The second one also has some info about the type of sparring Loma does.

There’s a huge emphasis on mental stimulation and things that require focus and not just muscle memory. It shows with their ability to adapt and continue to think and take more weapons away as the fight progresses. They’re focused pretty much through the entire fight.
