Changed ACC to AC, as was implicitly suggested in one of the comments

It seems to me that Zeeman's collapsing conjecture satisfies the criteria given. The Zeeman conjecture implies both the Poincaré conjecture (proved in 2003) and the Andrews-Curtis conjecture.

The following is a quote from Matveev's book, where it is proved that ZC restricted to special polyhedra is equivalent to the union of PC and AC.

Theorem 1.3.58 may cast a doubt on the widespread belief that ZC is false. If a counterexample indeed exists, then either it has a “bad” local structure (is not a special polyhedron) or it is a counterexample to either AC or PC.
