In the year 1986 genpei yokoi went on a business trip to France. While there he visited Notre-Dome and learned alot about the catholic faith. This brought him to reading the divine comedy. Being inspired by the religious text he wanted to make a video game inspired by French and Italian catholic heritage while also paying homage to rocky, a corner stone of cinema at the time. He liked how rocky lost in the movie but it was still a victory for him personally. And he could draw comparisons to Dante and his trip through the 7 circles of hell. When yokoi got back to nintneod HQ he started to work on this new innovative title. He wanted to make a boxing game where you literally fight your inner demons. Sadly around this time super mario borher 2 released and was such a commercial flop that nintnedo was reeling. They figured the best step was to take a celebrity indorcement to make sure the next game was a success. Around this time Yokoi fell sick due to eating some bad shrimp at an all you can eat shrimp buffet. So Genyo Takeda took over the project. Alot of the religious subtext was removed but he kept each rival boxer being a sin. So glass joe was lust, king hippo was gluttony, piston honda was greed and so on. It's actually very interesting and true

Ha Ha, Who knew that bad shrimp caused us to get a more toned down Punch Out!! 😄 Your commitment to the bit is admirable.
