And Premier Boxing Champion want to avoid two PPVs in the same month, meaning Wilder’s fight with Ruiz, 33, could be moved.
The American, 37, returned in October, knocking out Robert Helenius, 39, in the first round.
It followed after Wilder suffered consecutive knockout losses to Tyson Fury, 34, after their controversial 2018 draw.
The ex-champion’s team have pursued a blockbuster bout against Anthony Joshua, 33, and made it a priority.
But AJ is in line for a confidence-building tune-up fight on April 1 having suffered double defeat to Oleksandr Usyk, 36.
So Wilder is ready to focus on Ruiz – who beat and lost to Joshua in 2019 – with the winner named as next for Fury’s belt.
His manager Shelly Finkel told SunSport: “Deontay is in good spirits.
“Right now we’re looking at a couple of options and most likely we’ll be fighting Ruiz, I hope in the second quarter of the year.
“In the next couple of weeks I’ll know if that can be made. Ruiz is not a second-class opponent, so he’s asking for a good payday also, which makes it all the more difficult.”
