Ortiz, who suffered a right hand injury that left him with severe injuries, ended the fight in a closed eye. However, he is now requesting a second fight.
He stated, "I want a match." He said that he was not able to see my eyes, but I kept my hands open.
"After this, do you think that I'm done?" What do people want?
Ruiz hasn't been back in world title contention since beating Anthony Joshua 32 years ago. He lost the rematch six month later.
He now wants to be a boxer again, and has vowed that he will reign.
Ruiz shouted, "I don't want to wait so long. I want to fight at minimum three to four times per year."
"I'm ready. I'm hungry man. I want to be champion once again, I want that belt to return to Mexico.
