Punching Gloves are obstacles in Fall Guys. They were first introduced in Season 3 (Legacy).
Obstacle description[]
Punching Gloves are giant boxing gloves that come out of cubic boxes to knock players sideways or upwards, depending on which direction they face. The heads of the gloves are also cubic, and have diagonal stripes. They are usually meant to knock players over, but rarely, they are helpful for qualification.
Airtime[]
Punching gloves can be found in the center cylinder in 
Airtime, which are there to knock players off the Fan and out of the Scoring Zone.

In 
Tundra Run, there are two sections with the Punching Gloves: in the first section, the players must move through a path with six Punching Gloves on the sides. They punch players and make them go off to the sides, and may cause them to fall down. The underneath section has Punching Gloves as well. The other section consists of some of punching boxes placed vertically. These must be crossed by jumping on them. Players punched while standing on a glove will be sent upwards and may use the extra height to overcome the section entirely. It is possible to take the icy side walkways if one wishes to avoid the gloves.

Top of the Trash features many Punching Gloves in its blue section (as well as two in the bottom part of the pink section), simultaneously benefiting players by launching them upwards, or providing an extra challenge by pushing them off the trash heap.

Trick or Trapeze slows players down by including various Punching Gloves on the top section of the course. It is advised to use the lower section while the slime is down, as these Punching Gloves act as walls to block players from continuing.
