"The date Triller lands on" will be determined in collaboration with PBC, their calendar and the PBC.
Ruiz, 32 years old, has not fought since beating Chris Arreola (41), in his comeback fight last May.
He teased Ortiz, 42 years old, about a fight. Ruiz was furious that Ruiz tried to fight Spong.
Ortiz told El Nuevo Herald: "He's a coward. He was aware of how much I wanted to fight him but chose to go easy.
